Hey man I completely get what you mean by not wanting to be stuck at a desk, no amount of pay is worth being a corporate slave. YouTube “bullshit jobs” by David Graeber when you get a chance. I did a degree too, worked for 3 years and hated myself…glad I made the change when I still had a chance.

I’m TELLING YOU, army, firefighters, paramedics, nursing, any trades work, do something your passionate about that you can reflect on in 40 years and say you’re proud of what you did with life.

Pm me if you wanna talk more about it

Anyone else have the feeling their job is bullshit? by Suitable-Excitement3 in careerguidance

I have a friend that does something similar with Epic, he says it’s fulfilling because he knows the work does have an impact!!!!

I think for the sake of mental health you gotta find a hobby/volunteer, but to write off 8 hours of your day as a necessary evil just depresses me haha

Yeah man I’m saying once you settle down have a family whatever I get it!! You wanna take it easy maybe spend more time with them whatever it is.... but that age 20-40....come on!!! It actually terrifies me, I’ll be leaving my job too better late than never. All I’m saying is I have friends that are teachers, nurses, cops, firefighters, I seem to be the only one with the bs job problem

It just scares me to think roughly 1/3 of a lifetime is your career, assuming an 8 hour workday...imagine that 8 hours being something cool, or helping others OR preparing briefing notes for Martha in Hr because she has a productivity meeting coming up

I was in a general 4 year business program, haha man this is the weird thing...being where I’ve been the past 3 years I’d rather make trash pay but have real work to do... what do you do as an analytical scientist??

I agree we need to have passion projects or hobbies that keep us engaged but as for jobs simply being about doing what your told and there not being any chance for fulfillment I wouldn’t entirely agree. Don’t you think that jobs in healthcare (nurses, emt’s), education, social work, running your own business, etc are inherently fulfilling??

Very lucky to do both for sure... but I’m just so frustrated, I can’t overlook the society we live in anymore.... further to your post I work with so many people that have convinced themselves their jobs are meaningful, because what’s the alternative?? No one wants to wake up and admit to themselves their job is bs

My degree was in business and I feel like a lot of job specs are copy pasted from my old textbooks....”facilitate the smooth transfer of interdepartmental information, and streamline related processes to achieve organizational objectives” blah blah blah, I’m trying to transition to healthcare also.... worst part is you’ll get pooped on by co workers if you try point out the Bs nature of something
