If the Salary Was the Same, What Job Would You Be Doing Right Now — and Why?
I have asked myself this question more than once, usually late at night when the wards are quiet and my mind finally has room to wander. And each time, my answer comes back the same: I would still be doing exactly what I am doing now — training to become a doctor, building King David Properties, mentoring young people through my foundation, and writing stories in the small hours when everyone else is asleep.
That answer used to surprise me. I thought money was supposed to be the thing that decided this question — that if you stripped it away, people would reveal what they were “really” doing it for. But when I imagine a world where every job pays the same, where a nurse earns what a banker earns and a teacher earns what a tech founder earns, I don’t find myself drifting toward something new. I find myself doing the same things, only with more peace, because I would finally be certain that I chose them for the right reasons.
Medicine is the clearest example. Some days it is exhausting — the long reading hours, the emotional weight of seeing people at their most vulnerable, the sheer volume of what there is to know before you can call yourself competent. If it were only about salary, there would be easier ways to make a living. But I keep coming back to it because I have always wanted to be the kind of person a stranger can trust with their life in a moment of crisis. That is not a reward you can price. It is a responsibility I would carry even if it paid nothing at all, because I already carry it in how I see myself.
The same is true of King David Properties. I did not start it chasing commission. I started it because I watched too many people — people who worked hard for years to save enough for land or a home — get deceived by agents who had no interest in protecting them. Verification-first brokerage is slower and less flashy than the alternative, but it is the version of the business I can defend to myself at the end of the day. If the money were equal across every profession, I would still choose the harder, more honest way of doing this, because the point was never just to sell property. It was to make sure people are not cheated out of their future.
And then there is the foundation, and the mentoring, and the writing — the parts of my life that already operate close to this hypothetical, since none of them were ever built around income in the first place. The Eze David Education Foundation exists because I remember what it felt like to need guidance and not have it easily available. My novel exists because there are things I understand about love, disappointment, and hope that come out more honestly in fiction than they would in a conversation. Even my comedy channel exists simply because making people laugh, even briefly, feels like its own kind of medicine.
So if I am honest, this question does not reveal a hidden dream job I am secretly holding back from pursuing. It reveals something more grounding: that the things I am doing now are not placeholders on the way to something better-paying. They are already the answer. Salary was never really the variable driving my choices — meaning was. And when I imagine a world where money is equal for everyone, I don’t see myself changing lanes. I see myself doing the same work, just breathing a little easier, knowing without a doubt that I would have chosen it anyway.
