I have the best possible job I could ever dream of
If I could find another means to support myself, I'd still do this without getting paid although I obviously wouldn't be able to work as many hours as I do now.
Before I started uni (and I started late, at age 24) I had all sorts of jobs to finance my travelling. I quit school at 15 (one year earlier than normal in Sweden since I skipped one year) at between age 15-24 I worked as a waitress, in a record store, as a caregiver for elderly, as a face model and model for dance photography, as a receptionist, with mobile phoning, with computers, with sorting mail, as a costume designer for a theatre group...and I hated it all, it was only a question of time before I grew to abhor the work I was doing, since none of it was what I really wanted to do.
