At some point the articles about “nobody can find a job” and “work life balance is the most important thing” are going to collide in some netherworld. In the meantime, the folks that keep the streets safe, patch up the people who ride motorcycles without a helmet, prevent cyberattacks from shutting down our air traffic control systems, rescue folks from burning buildings– all jobs requiring long and sometimes uncontrollable hours- will have to take comfort in whatever modest contribution they are making to society. Clearly not enough by some standards- but surely better than making TikToks with their abundant “free time” and complaining that they can’t make enough money to move out of their childhood bedroom.
