It's a tick tock I've no idea what the actual work is like and neither do you, social media is always someone pretending to have a perfect life that others desire. That said the better a job pays the easier it is is my experience. All my minimum wage jobs have been 10x harder than the decently paid lab work I do now.

The way I see it, I’m paid for output; not the amount of time spent at my desk. I’m expected to provide certain results. Those results provide a certain fiscal value to my employer.

If the output is significantly higher than my salary (usually about 10:1), then whatever they are having to pay me is worth it, even if I only work 15 hours a week because I make them money hand over first. It’s no one’s business how long I spent doing the work, I completed everything expected of me.

I could go to a different company where the output will require me doing 30-40 hours a week or even 50-60. The work will be more difficult and I will be making significantly more. I choose to stay at a company where my workload and pay is smaller because I value my time with my family more than I value making more money.
