I work in a regional grocery store. If I could work in one that didnt sell beer/wine, etc..I would go there in a heartbeat...It's called knowing what you have and being grateful for it..
Believe me, I understand where you (and Mark) are coming from, because there is great security in knowing that I get a check every week that allows me to exchange green rectangles for food and lodging, and if for some reason that check stops coming I need to find another source for green rectangles pretty quickly.
My point is that when you get up to the salary level typical of network executives, if that check stops coming, assuming you haven't been pissing it all away on hookers and blow, the need to reinstate the flow of green rectangles isn't quite as immediate as it might be for you or me. And as such they would be able to focus a little more on "live to work" as opposed to "work to live."
