if you're like me you just can't tolerate the idea of bullshit work and being exploited, if you can find a government job that might work

for me, a large portion of hating everything was the fundamental corporate bullshit perpetual LiNeGoUp profit motivation, not only selling shit to people, but "upselling" constantly trying to get them to spend more than they planned on.

none of that bullshit in the public sector, higher education. the pay isn't great, but i actually get PTO sick and vacay, and 10 days off over winter break. i can do 4 x 10 over the summer, and have 3 day weekends every week
