I too found this topic via a Google search and also hate the idea of working on a full time basis.

I'm only 22 years old and I feel like I'm being lazy for feeling the way that I do. Recently, (through no fault of my own), I was let go from a full time position I landed in December and now I am currently job hunting again. Whilst I was working there, I literally dreaded waking up every morning to my alarm and couldn't sufficiently wind down to go to sleep every night. I constantly felt on edge. I truly dread the idea of heading back into a Monday-Friday, 9-5 position, because I feel like I will have no freedom and no time to pursue the things that I'm interested in. I am also introverted, so having to put on fake faces and having to interact with others on a regular basis is mentally draining to me.

I definitely want to work, because I do want to earn money for the things that I want to buy and to potentially live elsewhere (I still live with my parents), but I don't want to work ALL the time. It's really hard to find positions in the field that I'm in, though. I recently graduated with a Media and Communications degree, and most of the positions within my field require a full time commitment.

I have said to myself that if I can't find a part time job in my area of interest, then I will settle for a part time office job, because at least then I can pursue and have the time to enjoy my interests.

It also depresses me that I will have to work for 40 years of my life. It honestly doesn't sit right with me, especially how I am such a freedom loving person.

I truly hope that I can find a sufficient part time position soon, because the thought of having to work full time all the time, put simply, depresses me deeply.
