Simmo, people who REALLY hate their jobs would change them. You've decided it's the least worst of all the options you feel are open to you, but I think you're being disingenuous to say there wouldn't be anything you wouldn't like to do (for the same, or more, money). Even if you won a mega-rollover Euromils I rather doubt that you'd do absolutely nothing at all, unless you hired a battery of staff to do everything for you, which would STILL require you to keep tabs on at least one of them!

I've never understood the problem with working for 'someone else', since we ALL work for someone else, even when we work 'for ourselves'. We work for customers, clients, for animals or for a cause. Work is not the antithesis of not working, either: even when not working, we keep others working by purchasing food (unless we're really into prana), clothing, airtime, whatever. And so the wheel goes round.
