I think anyone who’s ever been in the position you’re describing understands. I manage a municipal solid waste district and can honestly say I hate every minute of it. What I live to do is write (songs, books, stories, etc.). I started as a newspaper reporter but couldn’t pay back my student loans on the wage. Now I write a lot of free-lance stuff on the side, but I can’t stand being a bureaucrat. Why do I stay? Well, I am looking for other jobs, but the biggest reason is that I put myself through college and have loans to pay back. I also see elderly people who lose their homes because they don’t have any retirement savings. Yeah, I could quit and go on welfare, but then what? I’d end up sitting on a street corner praying that my book goes bestseller; in the meantime I’m getting older, and nobody on this planet is going to take care of me.

So why do we work jobs we hate? Because it’s better than the alternative, which is being a live-at-home-punk or welfare-bum. Either way, I’d rather be dead than do that. I have a hard time respecting people who quit their jobs, live at home and leech off their parents and spouse. Grow up and take care of yourself! Do what you have to do. Nobody likes cleaning up garbage, but where would you be if someone didn’t?
