Why would you risk a job with little or no responsibility with a good salary for a high school play?

Because I clearly place a higher priority on art than I do on boredom.
Because I would rather deliver for people who are relying on me (the cast of the show) than people who don't really need me.
Because I clearly get more pleasure and satisfaction from the play.
Because money and security isn't everything - nor is it even remotely toward the top of the list of everything. At least, for me.
