Most People Start Hating Their Jobs At 35

This article shows us that according to a UK survey, showed us that workers over the age of 35 are the most unhappy about their job. In fact, the unhappy amount over 35 was double the amount of the unhappy employees under 35. In addition, 33% of employees over 55 said they do not feel appreciated and 16% do not have friends at work. The article goes over more statistics if you want to check it out.

35 sounds right for most people.

Right around that age, maybe a few years before, one should have a pretty good sense of the trajectory of their life and career. This is the time that 95% of people start to realize that they'll never make bank, they won't save the world, and they'll never be in upper management or an executive of their current firm or any other firm. The drudgery hits you and you think "shit, I can't believe I have another 25 years of this, and if I quit tomorrow my 1yo will have to grow up in a trailer and may starve to death." Sad!
