<p>There’s no magic bullet for this - it’s what brings you joy individually. </p>
<p>I’ve worked in some blue-collar jobs early on and I found many lots of fun, with fascinating people. Plenty of satisfaction in a job well done, even if it’s installing equipment, carrying wood or mowing a yard. Heck, I made installing wiring in communications equipment a form of art with it’s perfection and grace. I thought it was cool.</p>
<p>I’ve worked in white-collar professional work for most of my career, and it has it can be great too. Plenty of satisfaction in a well-written paper, analysis or presentation. Cracking complex problems, finding the right key that unlocks a thorny issue - that’s cool too.</p>
<p>I’ve found wonderful joy in having kids. They’re a blast as well.</p>
<p>Yep, some folks are miserable, but frankly, that’s a decision they make every moment. </p>
<p>Life’s too short.</p>
