Most Americans hate their jobs. But we go to them every day. We go for various reasons; rent or a mortgage, the need for food, or to avoid sitting on the outskirts of a culture that is designed and founded on machine-like "hardwork". So we go to work for our 40 hours (or more) per week...until we don't.
New research shows that the demand for traditional jobs is decreasing. There is no surprise in that news . Western work life has been held responsible for mankind’s sedentary lifestyle, rising diabetic rate, and increasing chances of terminal diseases.

As someone who spends over an hour on a daily commute, then sits for at least 6.5 hours, I can witness the mental and health affects of the modern work life.
Also, I hate my job too. I can not stand it. Most days, I would rather eat a fresh turkey liver than go.
However, I cannot fight the guilt I have for hating my job. The current job satisfaction rate sits at 51%. That is a noteable chunk of Americans who are satisfied with their jobs in 2018. Over half of America do not hate their jobs.
If you are like me and hate your 9 to 5, you are a minority. It is time to join the masses and seek out satisfaction from your job. This is an employee's market. Dont feel guilty when you list all the things you'd rather do than be at your job like "coat your body with cereal then run into a beach of 50 seagulls", it is okay.
