I disagree. I sold cars and worked as a locksmith. Spent a lot of hours “at work” not getting paid at both. Like I said it’s all about perspective. I’m not saying I completely agree with the way the pay works or even agree that it’s a fair wage for the type of work we do. That said, I’ve thought the same about a lot of jobs I’ve done. And then I’ve had a couple of jobs where I got paid stupid money for doing tasks so mundane and mind-numbing that the payout wasn’t even worth it. Just offering my perspective- for me, personally, it’s the most equitable exchange of services rendered for a financial return that I’ve ever personally experienced and, to the point of the OP’s question, it is definitely possible to be happy in this job.
