Which kind of life would you ideally want to have?
Live in Anytown, USA, have a pointless job, likely have a spouse and kids, own your own two-story house, and possibly be happy, but never be remembered after death or contribute to society at all.
Live in an unimportant city, like Akron, Modesto, Gary, Winnipeg, Cleveland, or Philly, be at the bottom level of a major corporation, earn a middle class income doing an entry-level skilled, very easy job (secretary, security guard, janitor, data entry, concierge, etc), likely have a partner, possibly have children sometime in the future, rent in a one bedroom apartment, and possibly be remembered by friends and family after you die, based on how memorable you live your life.
Live in a major city, like New York, Toronto, London, Tokyo, or Seoul, have an important and lucrative job, no kids but having plenty of sex as an attractive single, have a penthouse apartment, and be remembered for decades or centuries after your death as a legend in your field.
