I’m an accountant. I’m satisfied with my job, but not happy.
The work is easy and the pay is sufficient (median level for my area). I spend an hour a day in actually interesting work, another 3-4 hours in menial number-juggling during which I listen to podcasts, audio books, etc, and 3-4 hours surfing the internet or reading.
I’m sometimes dissatisfied with my work, wishing I did something with a bit more impact on the world. Unfortunately all those jobs would require several years of college debt to acquire, and would pay less than my current work, making the monetary dis-incentive very large.
