Fundamentally, the price you pay from working a job in terms of time and energy lost will very rarely be worth it to the individual. There is a disconnect between the human mind, which has complex desires, and the place of any individual human in the world, where getting anything done requires either sacrifice or prior luck and your role is very small for the most part. For a job to be satisfying, it will either have to be something you'd do anyway (which is rare) or something where your contributions live up to the demands of your mind (which is even rarer)
