I mean to be fair, you wouldn't be getting paid $315,360 for a years worth of work, you'd be getting paid $315,360 for 7.488 million seconds in a year (ish, 40 hour weeks, no missed days)

So really to have picking up a penny in one second be "worth" your time, you'd only have to be making $74,880 a year or less

Man, I'm not gonna math that out myself; but that sounds more realistic and I choose to believe you

Yeah bro I was thinking like I don’t make 300k a year and I still don’t pick up pennies…

It's always worth it when you're on the clock.
