Yeah this is why despite office jobs sometimes being described as 'soul-crushing' , the alternatives are not that great either. Service sector work means bad managers and bad customers. Creative works means non-paying or overly demanding clients and inconsistency of work/pay. Another problem is success at creative work typically requires top talent . Most people who aspire to be creatives cannot outcompete GPT/AI when it comes to writing for example or graphics design.

A job is a job, construction jobs are physically demanding although pay can be competitive for the bar of entry, pilots can be a fun and prestigious career but your trade-off is your sleep schedule and days away from home every week.
I vaguely remember Richard Thaler published this research on risk as the determinant for career earning.

Don’t forget nonprofit work, which is often as toxic as corporate culture but with added gaslighting about how you should do more work “for the mission.”
