About This Quote
A job is a contract whereby you sell out a bit of your life daily. This quote from William James implies that all jobs are this way. From the perspective of the employer, the employee is providing a service for a certain amount of money, and in exchange, they're getting paid. However, from the perspective of the person who does the work, providing a service means giving up some time each day or week to do what is required. Therefore, everyone involved in a job must be aware of this fact before an agreement is made.
