almost like the things that make the world better and nourish the human spirit run directly counter to the desires of our system of resource distribution and value assignment.
hey, what’s that system called again?
In my experience, every job eventually becomes a job you hate that just pays the bills.
Fuck. This is true. There are no dream jobs.
Nah, there are dream jobs, reality just has this unfortunate habit of imposing itself on your dreams. The result being that even dream jobs can suck because of the bullshit that goes along with them.
So I have a job where I’m a therapist, and also I have a job where I support other therapists.
I also train therapists and I train the people who look after other therapists.
I’ve been doing this a lot. I love every day of it. I cannot imagine doing anything else with my life. And if I won the lottery, I would still want to keep doing it.
Here’s a secret: the left path doesn’t exist. I have a great job that I love the actual work of. But people and bullshit beyond the minutiae get in the way and make me unhappy. I suspect every job is like that, I cannot fathom anything that isn’t. I imagine any answer to the contrary is backed up by independent wealth or outside funding. But please prove me wrong. Give me hope.
Being happy means not needing to have a job.
Bruh, I just had an interview with AMD today. Fingers crossed, because it is literally my dream job.
Good luck!! We’re all rooting for you! That sounds like a lot of fun!
I’d be in their lab, reworking customer reference boards, working directly under one of their engineers. I never got the chance to go to college, and to get to this point is amazing. I’m deeply passionate about tech, and I’m super excited about this opportunity.
What about neither!
I’m doing my dream job and I feel like shit anyway. So I guess my dreams were a bit off.
This is what I worry about. What if I get everything I ever wanted and it’s still not enough? What is the point then?
Protip: it’s never going to be enough. Your brain has this neat trick it does where it acclimates to a new normal after a while, so eventually you’re right back to where you were, wanting more and better things.
Find something in your life that brings you happiness, that’s a lot easier than chasing happiness through the employment you’re forced to have if you want to survive in this shit hole.
