Many HG+ people seek employment that is intellectually satisfying rather than wealth producing.
Yes, and this is a real problem over here (sigh) Read: mom needs to contribute more financially... how do I rewire my brain so that I'm motivated by money?
LOL I used to rent a basement suit (this was yeeeears ago) from a co-worker of mine who owned the house. We are the same age. He is NT and attaches his self worth to his income, as many NT males do.
He didn't believe that I have a high IQ - he needed to see my test scores... the first words out of his mouth were "why aren't you rich?"
sigh
