So would I, but that’s not always possible. Maybe the meaningful jobs aren’t available. Maybe you took a job you thought was going to be meaningful but actually turned out to be bullshit, but you need the work and now you’re stuck.
I would add a job that is meaningful sometimes, and lacking other times. Good enough to stay, but sometimes you just need to have something in the background to keep from going crazy.
I agree here. My thing is just to work at a civilized pace no matter the pressure. Get stuff done and work through the process but don’t stress on artificial deadlines and such. Its somewhat hard though and what cracks me up is stressing about allowing myself to stress.

I’ve certainly been in both situations myself.
