If pay is the only concern, why not just take up contract work and refuse benefits to get the most pay? Ignoring the other variables at play, such as cost of living and benefits, and only focusing on pay is foolish.

Higher pay gives you options like being able to take unpaid time off and still coming out ahead. That's more appealing than nebulous benefits.
Contract work is a fundamentally different proposition and equating it to employment is foolish.
