There are places where you can find well-paid work that isn’t for ‘capitalists at the top of the chain’. Well, at least not directly. Do you think you’d find the public sector equally meaningless?

Unfortunately I live in a corrupt country where public work would possibly be even more harmful than private work.

The incredible amount of wasted potential from human beings spent in the endless race for profits makes me sick.

The irony of it all is that we're always trying to find ways to find meaning in life and ended up caught up in the most useless quests possible...

To answer my own question, I’m not sure I find a great deal of meaning in most of my work, but I like doing the work and I like the people I work with, and I don’t resent the people I work for, because it’s ultimately the British public.
