One of the things we often forget is that a large part of our happiness is simply autonomy and self direction. I still remember working a “dreary office job” that I absolutely loved because we were given self direction and the managers were simply there to support us.

This sounds great!

However, I also had a job like this and hated it. The things I hated about it were:

  1. Circumstances beyond my control made taking this job my best option, when I had really wanted to do something else.
  2. The ultimate product of my work wasn't emotionally resonant with me. I felt like I was doing nothing but working to maintain a system I didn't believe in.
  3. I felt like if I was going to have a job like this, I should be getting paid better and should be working on something more interesting. I thought the job was beneath me.
  4. Seriously, aesthetics matter. Commuting through heavy traffic to reach a suburban office park, where I walk through the door and smell filtered air, looking at grey cubicals under florescent lighting... is pretty miserable. Much better if the office was in a walkable, nice-to-look-at neighborhood where I would want to spend my time outside of work, and if the office had hired an interior designer who could make it.... just better in any way.
