Reply to comment by Fangore in People complain that life is too short and then proceed to complain daily about how bored they are by MrFeature_1

Exact!! I know like 5-10 people that would do the job they are doing if they didnt have to work at all and thats because I am in academic.

In corporate I know ZERO person who would do their job if they didnt have to work.

Academic is the best thing in the world, if I had to go back to corporate, I would wanna die and hate my Life every single day, like I did when I was i. Corporate.

I make less money that I used to, but now I am excited about what I do, cause it MATTERS!

It's very relieving to hear that there exist people (even in a very specific field) who find their work enjoyable and impactful.

As a consultant I worked with some non profit and these people are just pure gold. They get paid less than in the private sector and yet give their heart in the job cause they have amazing impact on the society and actually help people.

Healthcare and education are other fields I can think of. Crappy conditions and yet dedicated people giving their all to help.

Corporate world…. Thats another story…. It’s like a soul sucking matrix.
