    are people really looking for this level of purpose in their jobs? my job is so i can pay for the things i actually want to do. if the things i wanted to do were free i wouldn’t be working.

        i get what you mean but it depends what you’re chasing. current goal is to get my gf a visa and get married so we can live together permanently.

          Yeah, the fact is there are just some jobs that need to exist but don’t have a great sense of purpose. Very few peoples “purpose in life” is garbage disposal, but we’d be screwed if everyone gave up sanitation to seek out art or stem fields. If it pays the bills and the workplace culture is good, I’m fine with sacrificing “purpose” in my job so I can bettwr achieve purpose outside of it.
