How do you do it, knowing your work will never make you happy?

I have to work 8 hours a day staring at a computer screen at a job I hate. At the end of it I’m just exhausted, and I barely do anything at home but get ready for the next day. I’ve gotten two degrees and neither career fields have been fulfilling. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even enjoy weekends anymore because it just leads to Monday again.

I have to work 8 hours a day staring at a computer screen at a job I hate. At the end of it I’m just exhausted, and I barely do anything at home but get ready for the next day. I’ve gotten two degrees and neither career fields have been fulfilling. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even enjoy weekends anymore because it just leads to Monday again.

I’m in my 30s and my life is flying by and I’m starting to hate every second.

My problem is the things I would love doing is probably what everyone else in the world would love to do, work with animals, or plants outdoors.

The problem is those jobs don’t pay because everyone wants them. I really don’t care about money at all, I just want to enjoy my work, because I’m spending the majority of my life doing it. But I do need to pay for my housing and past mistakes like enrolling in school in the first place.

I know there’s probably a perfect job out there for me where I’ll jump out of bed excited to go in and do it, but I haven’t found it in the last 10 years
