ah, if only the rest of us had the willpower to simply choose to not suffer and to enjoy life instead.

Seriously, who do you talk to that enables such viewpoints? I suspect not many people want to talk to you after their shift.

Work isn't the problem; it's doing bullshit work that's undervalued so that morons who don't work can eat. This has held true at every part of the pay scale. It's just the compensation on the upper end helps you have hope you may find meaningful work that can feed you.

I suspect we all WANT to work. We just need to eat, too.

Exactly! You have to find that path before it's too late. Each one of us have only 80 years at most.

Agree. Doing dishonest or unethical jobs is not real work and makes nobody happy.

> I suspect we all WANT to work. We just need to eat, too.

And within those two goals there is a great world of opportunities.
