Bob claims that money is his biggest motivator when searching for a job. But Bob just turned down a job for $50,000 a year in favor of a $40,000 a year job. Clearly Bob is lying to himself about what really motivates him.
Each of the following, if true, would undermine the conclusion of the argument EXCEPT:
A)The lower paying job will not require Bob to commute, allowing him to sell his car and walk to work.
B)The lower paying job has a profit sharing system allowing him to invest in the company.
C)The lower paying job gives a $10,000 bonus to each employee every year.
D)The lower paying job will allow Bob to work fewer hours than the higher paying job.
E)The $40,000 job has a generous benefits package that makes up for the difference in salary.
