I’m lucky that I can say yes. That said, I still wouldnt do it for free. What about you, how do you feel about your job/career/field in general?

I have a great job, I’m reaching the end of a successful career and I’m very happy with the choices I’ve made in my professional life.
But my job is NOT important and I’m not proud of it. I’m only proud of having the honesty to do what I’m paid to do well. Beyond that, my job is a means to an end: supporting my loved ones. They are what’s important. Nobody goes to their grave reflecting on what they did for a living.
Same. I write software for a company that nobody would miss if it never existed. I’d like to be more useful to society, but first I’ll make sure I have something saved up for my retirement.
Thats an interesting perspective, thank you.
