Who Has Turned Down A Job With Substantially More Money and Why?

I left a fob for a $50k+ paycut simply because I hated walking in those doors every morning.

Easy to turn down substantial opportunities depending on the situation of new position, location, stress, and free time.

Plus the street leading to K-State is named after him, the stadium is named after him, and he has $250K per year retirement clause in his contract to be an ambassador for K-State. How could that go badly??

Snyder is an idiot.

If you dont enjoy your job, get out. Money is not everything.

Billy Beane passed on a $12.5 million offer from the Red Sox to stay in Oakland.

My wife did the same thing only her job didn't pay $millions. She's much happier now making about 1/2 the money without having to answer emails all weekend from her crazy boss.

My wife left a job at a fortune 50 that was worth many millions because the stress of it was literally destroying her health. Money is definitely not everything.

That said if you can stomach the pressure of a multi million dollar per year gig for four or five years and you are willing to maintain your prior standard of living then how much more career do you need? Perhaps not too much?

I left my job to go to work for myself. I make 70% of what I used to make working 40% of the time and I don't have set hours. Golf in the morning, work in the afternoon!

The whole idea that just because it is a P5 coaching job or it pays 2-4 million a year should make no difference at all. The most important thing that should be on anyones mind is are they happy. Coach K is making a lot of money for no matter where you live in the country or what your education level is. So the questions that he or anyone else for that matter should be asking is, "Am I Happy". He has multiple levels to consider, does he make enough money to provide for his family and future, is the family happy with his job, do they live in a nice safe place, and whatever else is important to him. More money does not not guarantee happiness, as a matter of fact, it quite often leads to more stress. So point is, if his family likes Fargo and NDSU, and can manage to survive on 500K a year in pay and benefits plus all the other little perks a person of his status gets around town, then why leave. And if more money and a P5 coaching job is his desire, and it is offered, then go for it.

My guess is that it is 70% better than when he was working for someone else.
