"Why is it that so many people are willing to tolerate work they don’t enjoy for the sake of a paycheck? "

In the US at least, I think it's often for the sake of insurance more than a paycheck in many cases. If you've got mouths to feed and medical problems to attend to, dropping everything and chasing a dream isn't just crazy it's also irresponsible. If we had some sort of basic universal health coverage and protection, I think people would be less fearful. But everyone is scared to death and I don't blame them!
