It is entirely possible to have a job that you enjoy and get paid for. Most of the jobs I've had I enjoyed very much and was paid well for them. And yeah, I needed the money to put a roof over my head, too.

If you hate your job, think about upgrading your job skills to get a job that you would like.

I'm glad that's the case for you. I also am aiming for that.

But we also have to acknowledge that simply is not true for a sizeable portion of the population.

It's also entirely possible to just do things you enjoy and not die, too.
