I thought so too. However, the funny thing with market economy is that it IS pretty efficient, so jobs that are regarded as satisfying and challenging are approached by so many talented people that they don't have to pay very well and the conditions are usually not great.
The solution is to either accept that the role of a career is to get to you to early retirement ASAP (Mr Money Mustache style) or to get excited about something that most people don't care about.

- dikdik 11y agoYes, I am beginning to realize that a lot of people actually don't want to bang their heads against the wall regularly at work. I do, though :/ Solving an insanely hard problem I have struggled with for days, weeks, or months is the most satisfying thing I've ever experienced.
