    That is not me, it is an example of a 9 to 5 in the service industry around the world. You might judge someone working like that but the reality is that the important stuff is not done at the office but at home with the family. That shit pays the bills and it is not really an option to find a job with purpose, that is sadly an idealistic dream, most people just carry on in a job that pays enough to then do other stuff with those they love.

    You can find all the dignity you want but at the end of the day you need to take the available jobs or end up on the street.

      I’m not asking you to find a job with purpose, I’m asking you to make purpose. Don’t just sit and suffer a death in the meraphorical sense. Breathe life into the world—the world needs music.

      I worked at an arcade for 8 years, I’m perfectly familiar with soul-sucking work.
