I’m fairly young and have managed to get by on seasonal jobs. Having a good amount of time off every year really helps with my mental health, but I just can’t understand how people can stay mentally healthy while working 40+ hours/week at a job they are not passionate about. I’ve been there, and I have to say that I was pretty depressed. It’s hard not to feel like my whole life was just consumed by work. I’m looking for some tips for when I inevitably have to go back to full time work year-round. I know this will sound like I’m just lazy, but I genuinely can’t see myself being happy working all week, every week, for the next couple decades unless I can find something I really enjoy. None of my passions can make any money so I’m kind of just accepting that most of my life will be spent doing something I dislike for the foreseeable future.
