would you guys be a garbage man for $13 mil a year

James Fish, CEO of Waste Management, Inc., pulls $13 milly a year. Not bad, but then you remember he is literally a garbage man.

Question to WSO: would you be a garbage man for $13 mil a year?

disclaimer: I don't believe that your job defines you etc etc.

ps: If you say you saw your garbage collector wearing a rolex (he earns $13m annually) how would you react
