> 1) The "good" solution is to find some work you actually give a shit about. Or think about why you do the work, what it allows you to do with your life. Doing what you love / loving what you do is one way to be happy, but it isn't a requirement, as long as you have a reason for doing the work. Life is full of things that don't directly bring fulfillment and happiness, such as brushing your teeth, doing the dishes, exercising (for many people), shopping for clothes (ymmv), and (for most parents on most days) cleaning up after messy children. All preaching about how you really ought to feel fulfilled by stuff like that aside, most people don't, yet it doesn't ruin their lives to keep doing it day after day.
