This is what a lot of people forget - your experience isn't everyone's experience, and your perspective is just that - your perspective.
Just because OP has a job that you would consider a dream, his opinion isn't invalid.
For an example: I went to college to escape a farming life. Now all of my young, relatively wealthy friends tell me how lucky I was to grow up on a farm and live a simple life. They talk about how they want that simple life. And they're confused when I respond with something to the effect of: bitches, farming isn't simple. It's hard work for really, really, really low margins. There's a reason I went to college, and that was to get away from that mess.
