You have an extremely naive view of the world if you believe that ANY NFL or college assistant wouldn't give up the grind in a heartbeat to sit in a broadcast booth making $4 million per year, while living in the city of their choice with their family.

Another thing that you haven't considered is that most of these guys don't do this job because they "love it", it's because they can't do anything else. Do you think that guys in their 40's and 50's LOVE moving their families year after year? Do you think these guys "LOVE" worrying about whether or not they'll be able to keep their children in college?

You really don't get it.

Actually I do get it. Life isn't all about money. Although I'm not proud of it, I have been very poor as a child. I'm probably still poor by most people's standards (make about 15k a year). And I'm still here. If someone offered me a job paying me twice as much as I am now but I hated it, guess what? I wouldn't do it! Life is too short to be miserable, especially when you don't have to be. I'd rather live paycheck to paycheck then get up every day going, "crap, this is going to suck."

Pulling the age card on me tells me you're older. And for an older person I'm amazed you haven't figured out there is more to it than money.
