    Treat jobs like these as temporary.

    Look for jobs that actually matter and you find interesting.

    Speaking as someone very lucky to have one of those jobs...

    What you're suggesting is rarely possible. The overwhelming majority of people just need to pay rent. It's not a failure of the individual doing a bad job at job searching - it's because we're forced into jobs we hate by people who have never been in this situation themselves. There aren't enough enjoyable jobs to cover everyone's cost of living.

    "The fact is, that civilisation requires slaves. The Greeks were quite right there. Unless there are slaves to do the ugly, horrible, uninteresting work, culture and contemplation become almost impossible. Human slavery is wrong, insecure, and demoralising. On mechanical slavery, on the slavery of the machine, the future of the world depends."

    I like when first worldlers complain about their privileges.
