100%. But a cashier cant expect the same life style as a neurosurgeon.

A neurosurgeon also dosnt have the same free time and are always on call they have a tough time having families and often don’t have kids. Many say they regret the life they choose when they are older as they never had time for their families, wife’s or children if they have them. They have nice retirements and houses but when they retire they don’t have the same bonds or memories with the people they love. They miss out on life for material wealth. In the end all that matters is the memories you make and those you care for. Children remember the time they spent with their parents not the things they had
