choosing a career

There are two main variables in scoring a career choice:

Expected return of income, and satisfaction.

Satisfaction is hugely nebulous, and at the same time I recognize that it must be weighted much more than expected return of income - or perhaps more accurately, expected return of income needs to have some sort of math-y thing done to it that I'm in no state to phrase out that expresses its diminishing value as y as we increase income along x. They are both variables, but satisfaction is of much more importance.
