Am I an ungrateful immoral person if I dont want to sit at a desk for 8 hours?

Little bit about myself: Was a genuis child. Fell into depression in teens. Lost direction in life. Dropped out twice in college (2 years 'wasted') before I stuck to a degree and finally completed it. The degree is well business administration. And at that time I didnt know this degree will tie me to corporate slavery. Now recently I started working at a call centre (because it was paying better) 1 month in. I quit. Is it immoral to not want to sit and listen to ~130 calls in 8 hours? I have no issue with the customers. They have genuine concerns. Like a person sent money to some in hospital but it didnt reach the receiver. Issues like these break my heart because I cannot do anything for them if the system/company isnt allowing the person to send the money. I am an empathetic person and hearing issues like…

I am an empathetic person and hearing issues like these on call takes a toll on my mental health.

Fun fact. After a whole day shift of catering 130 customers, I make money that is equal to what a janitor would make in an hour in developed countries

This still is a high salary for a fresh graduate here. Which means even if I shift job, i wont be making more

So I say fuck this shit. I'm going to Europe to complete my Masters next year. And in the meanwhile I do not want to do a desk job where you can't stand and stroll.

Am I immoral/ungrateful for this line of thinking?
