Bro I'm 27 and I know as of now my job will probably never as satisfying as a I want. But is it a good job, I work with very interesting technologies, some interesting people and discover very interesting techniques, although the things I built is just some deluxe shit so some billionaires can be richer by exploiting a nicely painted set of data.
But it is mostly an easy job. It pays the bills handsomely. And I can take what I learn and use to help the communities I participate in.
Nothing will ever be perfect in that aspect and it shouldn't be.
Working for other people is never going to be as good as working in your little side projects, because that's how our capitalist society works and that's what we have to live with. All we can hope is try to make it better every day.
