I agree. I lucked out landing an awesome job with a great work environment, friendly coworkers, and a boss who’s involved and easy to talk to and work with, AND in a field I’m passionate about.

But, if I just had the money to own my house and car and stuff… I wouldn’t work there. I wouldn’t work anywhere. It’s ultimately just a means to an end, even if I think the means are much more palatable than some other jobs I’ve had.
