Cyrnel brings up an interesting point. My SO has at various times been unhappy with her career(s). The zenith of her unhappiness was while working in development for orphanages. Odd, but the total lack of the management to even offer up an auto-de-fe to their mission infuriated her. So she was very hard to be with, and felt that at times her task of raising money to provide these kids with homes was unethical.
Now she does shady government work and is happy. Well, it’s not shady, I just don’t understand it. I do know it’s beneficial to Native Americans.
If somebody were happy being a veal maker, I don’t think I’d be in that relationship. And no, I don’t eat veal.
