There is a huge difference between working 80 hrs a week for yourself and working 40 hours a week in a cubicle making someone else rich. Psychologically it's a huge difference and it's mentally draining (for me at least) to work for someone else. I don't get along with one of my co-workers and it drains me. 40 hours seems like an eternity because I'm constantly miserable at work. If I'm working for myself and I'm making good money then I would truly enjoy it and I would feel passionate about what I'm doing, even if I was working 80 hrs a week and that's the truth. How am I supposed to feel energized about working 40 hrs a week for someone else plus the commute too? It's mainly dealing with people and having to interact with them that is draining the life out of me, I simply do not like it at all.
I have to admit that I am thankful for having found a job even though I complain so much. The recession is tough and it wasn't east finding that job and I am glad I have it (even though I complain). I know that if I didn't have that job things would be much worse. So I'm glad they gave me a chance.
