> 99% jobs are meant to at least kinda suck - that's why compensation is necessary.

Not necessarily. If you have someone that loves their job and does it extremely well, you still need to pay that person so that person can pay his/her bills and stay there. Otherwise, that person will leave for a job that he/she likes less and is not as good at, just to be able to pay the bills.

I know several people that LOVE their jobs, but they have a family to support. If those jobs didn't pay, they wouldn't be working there because loving a job doesn't put food on the table.
