There is nothing wrong with liking your job. That's obviously ideal. HOWEVER, so many people come in here thinking that if you're not working, you're not doing ANYTHING AT ALL. Which is a really weird assumption to make. What do you do on your weekends or vacations? Don't you have any hobbies or interests that you'd like to pursue? If not, you should really think about getting some. It's not healthy to only have your work giving you a sense of identity and meaning in life.

Given that most people do not like their jobs, it's also really selfish and self centered to give people a hard time for not liking theirs. That's the normal state of affairs. I feel that a lot of DCUM posters have been completely brain washed by capitalism. It's kind of sad.[/quote]
