This is exactly my thought. No matter where you work (unless you own the company of course), you will always have to do work that you don't want to do.

My biggest issue is deadlines. At my current company, the boss constantly adds things and changes his mind on a daily basis..even when there are hard deadlines. He also ignores the fact that it will add time onto the deadline (many people have tried), but expects everything to be done on the same timeline.

This is why I have decided to work for myself.

Congrats. Be prepared to still do a lot of work that you don't want to do. It'll just might more clear why and feel more like a rational choice, but make no mistake: you'll have a lot to do that you don't want to do...
