Oh heres the other thing I think thats hilarious.
The pseudo-adult voice that pops up any time someone makes a comment like my first one, pointing out that it must be because you are young, inexperienced, problems arent fun because you fancy yourself a special snowflake etc.
Sorry no. Im 39 and I’ve been in this for many many years and my point of view is objective. Led many projects. Worked for many industries. Worked in many cities on both US coasts (so I guess I can only speak for the US). The jobs ARE watered down to being creative accountants, as one of you pointed out.
That voice, that “maybe you need to be more adult and youll like it better” is a garbage rationale, cowed, and complacent.
And “boring” is a legitimate complaint and a very alarming one in a creative industry. A profession focused on humans that WANTS to delve deeper into the fineries of emotion and meaningfulness which is simply seen as a market advantage gets the interest sucked out of it because uninteresting people with uninteresting problems drive the work.
Insurance buy buttons are not interesting. Etc.
I think this world needs better objectives defined by better people.
