The reason we work is 1) to provide for the needs and desires of ourselves and our family, and 2) to perform meaningful tasks that give us structure, satisfaction, and self-actualization.

If a certain type of work is not providing you these, then do not pursue it.

Put equivalently, if doing tasks XYZ does not make you (or your family) happy, do not do them.

Put equivalently, pursue work-life balance. When you are 10 years older, and/or if/when you start a family, this will be vital to having a happy life.
