They missed these things to become managers and bosses. The nominal increase in pay was so that they could secure a decent retirement and put their kids through college. One day, they hope their kids can do the same while at the same time telling them they shouldn't.

Was it worth it? I don't know, but it's not as easy as the meme makes it sound.

I've also worked with some people who worked late in part because it was easier than going home. Not everyone wants to go home to their family.
