Even throwing god out the window. I hope we can all agree on "5 days on, 2 days off shouldn't be the ideal work environment"
Most of the year (maybe even your life) is spent working to improve other peoples lives, rather than your own personal life.
Longer rant about my personal job
I work in education. I'm not in this for the paycheck. KFC night shifts payed more than my starting salary here.
I'm here for the smiles on kids faces. The eureka moments when they understand a topic. The hope that thy will carry the torch after I'm gone.
I wonder (even hope) if other public jobs like hospital workers and fire fighters feel the same way.
