Live to work

[danzk]

I can't understand how people spend years of their lives living just for work, a life like that seems very miserable to me, in my opinion death is better than living like that, even more so when you are born into a poor family, where you have to work twice as hard. So I can understand those who kill themselves for that reason. Life is very unfair.

This used to be me. It is actually ok if you are able to do what you feel passionate about. It's like being paid to do a hobby you'd be doing anyway. The trouble is that most jobs come with deadlines, budgets, the odd sociopathic manager. It can get to a point where it turns what you used to love into something you hate.

I haven't reached that point but it's certainly become more jaded for me. That I think would be the ideal though- in life. We spend so much time working. We should at least be able to get a job in something we have an interest/ talent in and we ought to be able to make enough to survive on if we put in the hours.

I think the key is to find a job you enjoy.
