re: Do you know anyone who has a high paying job but hate what they do?

I had two jobs over the course of a long career where I absolutely loved the job and the people around me, but had a petty, unqualified idiot for a boss. Once in consulting, and once working in corporate America. In both cases, I didn’t even realize how much I hated it until I left it.

Both times, they were highly stressful positions, but I felt none of that stress, it was entirely being micromanaged to the point of misery that did me in.
