One of the major questions of our time: why do so many people choose to do jobs that they clearly don't enjoy? I'm not talking abt circumstances where they don't have a choice. I mean otherwise affluent people w no meaningful risk of losing food or shelter who show up everyday to do something they hate. What's up?

Tradeoffs. It affords them the lifestyle, neighborhood, identity, acceptance, etc. that makes it worth it. And deeper, darker psychological vibes: staying in a place they hate allows them to write a certain story (be a victim, hide from greater success, etc). New stories take hard work.
