That is, if your job is absolutely rubbish (such as working at a sewage works), then you have to be paid more to encourage you to work there.
People who love their jobs often do it, regardless of the rewards, because they love it.

In my own life, I took a significant pay cut to work for a company that I thought embodied my ideal work environment.
