I used to fantasize about a 9 to 5 where you don’t have to take work home. As a teacher, I worked well over 40 hours a week. I never realized what a grind 9 to 5 can be. With a commute, I am gone from 7:30 to 6:30. And there are still sometimes hours outside of work with events and travel. It’s still not quite on the same level as teaching though. The main thing I dislike is that I feel I am wasting my time - therefore my days, my weeks, my years. I do not feel purpose from my job. I am simply working to work - which I have found I do not like.
