    We learned about a study in Psych class where the researchers asked elementary school students what their favorite activity was. Drawing was the popular answer. So the researchers paid the kids $8/hr (even 6yo get better than Min wage) to draw. Then they would poll them again about their favorite activities. Guess what was on the bottom?

    What does it say if you have your favorite job while listening to your favorite song and still love both?

    Not a great example, unless you have a very repetitive job. You have described work in general but music as one song only. I can listen to music I like over and over again all day, and I can also (mostly) enjoy my job all the time.
