Is a life spent working on uninteresting material a life worth living?

It can be soul sucking. Don't make the mistake of chasing money, at least not twice. It's not for everybody.

Most modern day jobs are purely material, soul sucking and ungrateful. I look at things the way they are and have learnt to not expect anything but money and respect from work. Anything beyond that, seek outside of work.
