Reminds me of the logic of working on cruise ships for low wages... "But
think of the free room and board, all the money you'll save with nowhere to
spend it, and all the exotic places you get to see!" Meaning: sharing a
tiny, windowless-cabin below the waterline with 3 others, eating leftover
buffet food, working 11 hour days seven days per week with about 40 minutes
to sprint through some strange port-of-call trying to do essential business
without a clue. Ah, another glamorous job. Live and learn.
