Seriously why do people say office jobs are soul crushing?
You work your hours easy sitting doing shit on excel and then go home.

Lets look at other jobs.
All the trades, they destroy your body and what is so interesting about them? You still do the same shit over and over again.
Engineers as boring as office jobs.
Doctor is really fucking stressful and you are trapped in the hospital with sick people.
Nurse, having even more contact with sick people, also shift work.
Social jobs, nursery you get as dumb as kids with time. Just look at men in these jobs, they are basically retarded kids. and whats so fun about kids.

Tell me one job that isn't boring and annoying. Best is to get a comfy office cubicle job no`??

It's the lack of stimulation. I've avoided office jobs like the plague because of that.

So you've never worked an office job? Go sit in a cubicle for two years staring at a screen and report back here with an update on your will to live.

As a job has qualia, people will find ways to complain about said qualia. Otherwise people would be paying for the experience of the job and not the other way around.
Labor jobs and most trades destroy your body but are fulfilling.
Office jobs preserve your body but present psychological torment from stress and boredom.
Doctor jobs are fulfilling but highly stressful.

So long as there are unpleasantness in the toil, people will innovate and find ways to complain about it, and others who observe these complaints will begin to realize them in their own day-to-day experiences.

It’s dull you fucking oaf. Nobody on biz is here because they work stable jobs and love them. Everybody wants the thrill of the chase and the blood pumping certainty of being right - and making a huge amount of money out of it. You think Norman Twatson is risking their capital with their skin in the game? It’s what gives you meaning to risk it all and win no matter what. People - at least the subset of people on biz - are addicted to struggle, drunk on being Sisyphus. This gives them something to strive for even as clean drinking water comes out of their faucets and nutritious food is the cheapest it has ever been in history.

People want to change the world, not do the work of a fucking pivot table.

Well there jobs where you have to work with shitty tech, backstabbing middle management, grumpy boomers killer deadlines and constant complains.

Bad in what way? That you have to actually do shit instead of drink coffee and click a few icons? Isn't this /biz/? Are you going to attempt to Yes Man your way into a higher salary while still not doing shit? Good luck.

if you are required to sit down all day, you will be unhealthy unless you spend all your personal time doing physical activity.

a job that is balanced means your personal time can be balanced (or even unbalanced, but however you want).

office jobs are soul crushing BECAUSE they are "easy/comfy". soul building is rarely easy and comfy.

manual jobs are typicallymore fulfilling because you transform something tangibly. even if you do it over and over again each instance is real and individual. paperwork is not.

With bitcoin you can do pic related without being on the grid and get a better rate than what the faggots at the (((utility company))) will pay you.

In Florida, FPL pays you 30% of the rate they charge.

I'd rather be owning my own business and paying someone else to run it. Pretty soon I'll have enough money to start it though, identified an undervalued market on an alibaba product to sell on amazon and I should have it up and running in a few months. I've been working as 40k a year wagecuck for 3 weeks so I now earn about 2.5 times as much as before. 21 yo banker here

I work in the office with more than enough females. I'm actually the only male in this part of the office. My uncle owns the business. Lets me trade 24/7, really just answer a few phone calls a day. Lets just say I trade more than I actually work. Love my job.

Field work. You are always driving to new places and tackling different problems. You work outside part of the time so it keeps your stress levels lower.
