“The five following are the principal circumstances which, (...), make up for a small pecuniary gain
in some employments, and counterbalance a great one in others. First, the agreeableness or disagreeableness of the employments themselves; secondly, the easiness and cheapness, or the difficulty and expense of learning them; thirdly, the constancy or inconstancy of employment in them; fourthly, the small or great trust which must be reposed in those who exercise them; and, fifthly, the probability or improbability of success in them.”
― Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations
