> What's wrong with a job just being a job, for most jobs, is that it's 1/3 of your life being spent there. What excuse is there to do stupid, monotonous, or worse - counterproductive stuff for 1/3 of your life? I suppose if you're Hodor that's just fine. It's not fine for people who see potential and opportunities in every scenario. The excuse is the alternative is not that common. Amazing jobs are a luxury. We can tune our perspective to one of a job being "just a job", while both capitalizing on the work and leisure time as best we can, or we can think ourselves failures for having them. Seeing potential doesn't easily translate to job security. I think privileged positions render technocrats out-of-touch with the majority.
