Today I read a very long study about career satisfaction, happiness, and the difficulty of attaining either in the contemporary economy.

So. Do you like your job?

Sometimes I did, in the sense that I wanted to work and I was usually able to do what my job asked of me. I think you can find a sense of accomplishment in that no matter what the work is, as long as you haven't attached your identity and self-worth primarily to your job. But even if you don't, the world kind of does, doesn't it?

It's a complicated relationship.

Hell no. But it gives me money, so I have to pretend like I at least care about showing up on time.

My off-the-books work doesn't count as a job, per se. More like a hobby I make fat stacks doing.
