Sometimes a dead end job sounds like it would be perfect...

You come to work. You do your job. You take your lunch break. You do some more work. You get another break. Work a little more. Go home. Get Paycheck. Few worries.

Me, I get phone calls at 3:00am - I've had last minute flight changes because of a crisis somewhere, I've had to cancel personal plans because of a work client crisis. I can't remember the last time that I worked a 40 hour week, it's been over 3 years since I took a real vacation. Dead end jobs sound pretty good sometimes.

Like has been said, no one ever died saying they wished they worked more.
