Even though I live what I do, getting paid is literally the only reason I go to work. If they did not pay me, I would not go.
I like my job. If I wasn't getting paid, I'd still be doing it. Just not for them.
Exactly this. I have several hobby projects that use the same skill set as my job, because I enjoy doing it.
I would quit my job on the spot and spend much more time on my other projects if I didn't need the money.
The difference between a hobby and a job is that with a hobby you can stop whenever you want.
The same kind of thinking that gets you to people needing the threat of burning in a pit for eternity to behave ethically.
