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?

Are you a drug dealer.

I can say in all honesty that I am not a drug dealer. Some of the components I use in my... hobby probably qualify as illegal drugs in some parts of the world, but no, that is not what I do.

...Like, I say I make fat stacks, but it all goes right back into the work, so it's not like my quality of life is improving at all. My shitty retail job still pays my rent.

Burning Man aficionado?

I'm a fashion designer. Silk charmeuse is a hell of a drug.

["fashion hobbyist" is probably more appropriate.]

I know plenty of people who would agree. Did you go to school for it?
