Is it the fact that you have to work at all, or the fact that you have to work in a field you don't enjoy? There's a big difference between these two.

Working in a field that does not mesh well with your strengths and desires can be very soul-sucking. For example, I cannot work in the restaurant industry anymore because it is far too fast-paced and stressful. I decided to go to school to get involved in a field I am passionate about, and will be graduating soon. Perhaps it's just a matter of finding out where you -want- to work? What interests do you have, what are you passionate about?
