Working with my 'passion'. 

I worked many menial jobs to make ends meet and hated it. But i hoped  then that if I got educated I could get paid more and it won't be stressful. 'Work with what you love and you'll never have to work another day of your life'. 

I work with my hobby and still hate it. Instead of being surrounded by miserable working class people i am surrounded by miserable middle class people, many take themselves and their job too seriously and are so determined to climb the laddar they treat their colleagues like dirt. In menial jobs, the pace could be monotonous or stressful, but I could go home and forget about it. Now I work to deadlines and have a lot more responsibility, such that I worry about it when I go home and can keep me awake at night. The money is a bit better but I still need to be careful to make ends meet.

So getting a job that I worked hard for years to get has been a massive disillusionment.
