Me too.It's the wait and pray part I find sad.
Salary and benefit bumps aside, it's really depressing to think that I need to wait to get experience coming to my doorstep to do more challenging ventures or opening new businesses.
It reminds me a lot of TMF in which MJ says that most jobs just involve you doing the same shit over and over again with no expansion of experience, in terms of soft skills or technical.
We may have different definitions of happiness, as @MJ DeMarco says, but if happiness is defined by a job promotion, we'd be F*cked. And just because people say they are happy, it doesn't means they are 'really' happy. Expression of personal feelings vary according to person, so we shouldn't take people's words at face value.
Everyone still faces rollercoaster emotions...job politics, social media hyperrealities, paycheck-to-paycheck vs debt, stock market swings and hits on retirement funds.....but not everyone can handle the rollercoaster of emotions that entrepreneurs experience and the constant uncertainty owning your own business can create especially early on.
I suppose it's a matter of playing fields, be they SCRIPTED or UNSCRIPTED if rollercoaster emotions are a universal infliction lol
