Pat Tillman undoubtedly was an exceptional individual. Few people would walk away from such a job to enlist in the military and risk their own life. Yet, Tillman's story is similar to those of people who continue working at unglamorous jobs when they no longer need to do so. One reads of lottery winners who remain working at ordinary jobs even when they could afford to retire, or of retirees who accept low-paying and seemingly lackluster jobs. Many other individuals leave lucrative jobs in business to become teachers or to take other social service positions. Rather than pursuing high-paying jobs in busi¬ness, many college students volunteer to work in social service positions upon graduation. Clearly, people have many reasons for pursuing the type of work and the specific job they do choose. Yet, the common assumption is that most people work because they need to earn money to survive.
