I would think that even if it's boring time spent coding is going to be more beneficial than time spent parking cars. Is there a way to make it less stressful? Could you offer to take a pay cut to work from home and have more freedom?

It's stressful because I really don't enjoy the type of work that I do (I don't like the business domain/industry I've found). I actually work from home quite a bit, but that really isn't the cause of my misery.

I think the only way I'll ever be happy in a coding career is if I get to work on my own projects or if I work for a startup that I'm deeply passionate about.
