I think one doesn't necesarily have the ideal job.. as long as it's not something they resent and that drains them. But one should then have something besides that. Something to fullfill us... without feeling fullfilled... we will just float aimlessly through life.

But as we get older and gain experience, it's not impossible to find our way. The worst you can do is work job you hate where you do nothing contributive (tbh, I will probably end up in one of such jobs, seeing how job hunt goes... but it's not the end for me), to make money to spend on things you don't need or even want to impress people you don't like.

I often wish school thought how to handle life instead of making kids to memorize facts from many fields. I used to go to fancy schmancy schools ('cause I was a smart kid with ambitious parents)... and oh my. I forgotten most of the crap about rocks, and biology of worms and industries of Sri Lanka and mathematical equations...
Learning how to process information would be more usefull. That and teaching people some damn wisdom, how to get through life in this crazy society, without going crazy themselves. We might have saved ourselves some trouble if we taught common sense.
