It isn't that I hate my current job, it's actually pretty easy and pays enough. I just don't want to go. I think even if I were offered my dream job paying quadruple what I make now, I still wouldn't want to do it. People tell me to find a job I love, but even if I loved it, I still wouldn't want to do it unless there's some way to get paid for watching TV - not writing reviews, not being in a focus group, just sitting quietly at my house watching TV and interacting with no one.

That scene in Office Space where Peter says if he had a million dollars he would do nothing? That's exactly how I feel. I just want to eat, drink and sit here in my chair watching TV or playing video games until I die.


I think most of us are not fully happy with their job and would do something completely different if they had the chance and financial independence to do so. Unfortunately we all need money and can't follow our dreams, it is usually a trade off between a very well paid job, and a job that doesn't earn a lot but would be our dream. In the end it matters more what time we have outside of work and with whom we are going to spend it. If you don't hate your job, you earn a lot of money and it is easy to do, I would recommend just sticking to it.
