The point of this is muddled
Work sucks and is boring - we already know that
Life goes on around you while you have to clock in - we already know that

That college grad should not have accepted the first offer. And I too am glad to be retired.

in IT we were always under layoff culture - I'll never forget a software engineer saying if he was laid off he would "just become a truck driver" - we all howled, I told him, dude, you can't even stay awake on a two hour conference call.......truck driving is hard work!
