Nah, listen, things can change. This may become a public transport commute, a walk, or you may not even go at all if you work from home. But what really sucks is when you are unemployed, and yes I speak from experience on all of these examples
I've been unemployed for two week and it doesn't suck. I can do what I want when I want. What really sucks is eventually being broke after running out of money.
Maybe it's because I lucked into a career that I can be content in but I would rather be employed than unemployed even if I was able to sustain myself through my unemployment. I'm happier if I have a job from which I can derive a sense of purpose and duty. If I was a multimillionaire, I would probably either volunteer or still be working.
Well, working for someone else and working for yourself is different i guess. Drawing cool characters and manga for myself than working for some company making garbage for social media. I don't consider that 'work 'cuz I love it and have fun. It's more of a playtime for me. I'm just saying I'd rather be doing that than making ads or editing corporate videos with that jarring background music all day.
I literally work in tech configuring and troubleshooting servers all day. I wouldn't really call it fun but it is fulfilling.
I bet you've been doing it less than 5 years? Give it time, you'll see past the fulfilling part eventually.
I've been doing it for 12...
