Man is this ever true. The idea of having a job that is "fulfilling" would be absurd to my dad. He never had this expectation. He lost his father before he was a teen and started working to put food on the table. It would be even more absurd to my grandfather.
When I get down about work or money I try to remember my early days working jobs I hated and getting paid peanuts for it. I didn't appreciate things the way I do now. I didn't have the context. I don't have the context for where I am now. I hope its better but still if I reach 70 I'm sure I'll look back on now and see it differently.
