my job has driven me to the edge of sanity.
i make a decent amount but have blown the vast majority of it as i flail around, trying to escape this nightmare existence. i learned my lesson: let yourself be pushed down a "lucrative" path that goes against your nature, and you will pay big time. i have to dig myself out of a deep, deep hole now...
your work needs to bring you closer to achieving a goal in which you find value. if it doesn't, you'll go insane. i suppose for a lot of people, their goal is to create a family. if their job brings in the cash their family needs, they can rest easy, even if the work is otherwise worthless. if you don't have a family, though, you can't be so arbitrary when you select your work.
