And why not? Work is only one avenue of fulfillment. Take a 9 to 5 where you stare at the wall for 8 hours in order to provide a home YOU OWN for your family?
That sounds way more fulfilling than 90% of the jobs out there. Add the benefits of no weekends, no overtime, holidays off, paid vacation and we're talking about mountains of icing on top of the cake.
Yeah I'm with you. I'm not corporate quite anymore, albeit still very much adjacent to it. I did that for 20 years though, and you know what, the minor investment of time, mental, and physical state really paid quite well. It's the ones that seek fulfillment from corporate work that suffer. I sought to exchange a limited amount of good work for a paycheck, and spent my non-work time seeking fulfillment with family, friends, hobbies, etc. while not having to stress over income.
