[QUOTE=msmith537] The problem, as Hilarity N. Suze alluded to, is that it seems like everyone I know hates their job. It doesn’t seem to matter if they are a schoolteacher, investment banker, lawyer or IT worker. [/QUOTE] Don’t be fooled into thinking that people bitching about their job constitutes hating their job. People have a certain about of bitching and moaning inside them that has to be expelled before they die. No matter how good a person’s life is, they have a preset Whining Rate that they have to keep up. If a real professional whiner were given $25 million, a mansion, free boats, servants and exemption from taxes for the rest of his life, six months from now he’d be complaining that his car-servant doesn’t wax the Lambourghini right and his Thursday hooker’s blowjobs are getting a bit predictable. You should meet my Mom. I love her dearly and she’s a really nice lady, but honestly, she whines about her lot in life nonstop. And she lives the sweet life in every conceivable way. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/can-you-take-a-pill-that-will-make-you-feel-less-depressed-about-your-job/456646)._
