Being At the Right Place at the Right Time is Important!

A lot of people work very hard to make a living. Have you ever wondered what are among the worst paying jobs?
According to this website worst-paying-jobs, these are among the worst paying jobs:
Farm Laborers
Dishwashers
Servers in Restaurant and Hotels
Bartender Helpers
Counter Attendants
Cleaners
Cashiers
Just a cursory look at the table in the article The Most Expensive and Richest Cities in The World would tell tell you that there is a whale of a difference in the pay of the humble dishwasher in say Copenhagen, Seoul, and Jakarta.
Does that mean the dishwasher in Copenhagen is the most skillful among the three? Obviously no! From here, we can conclude that choosing where to work is just as important if not more important than what you choose as your vocation. My point is, in life, making the right, informed choices can make a world of a difference as to where you end up financially.
