I don't know how old you are, but I'm nearly 40 and I understand the desire for purpose in work.
I've worked shitty line cook jobs. Let it turn me into an alcoholic drug addict.
Spent six years in the Navy. Oversaw the Arab Spring and our government lying to have an excuse to get involved with Syria.
7 years at a startup going from entry level to director and managing 20 people. Refused to offshore my team so they canned me and my team and reshored them anyway. After not being allowed in the office for a year for refusing the vax.
Been at a jeet tech farm for the last three years. Walls are closing in there, they're all retarded and nothing gets done.

Purpose in a job is ultimately retarded. Fulfillment comes from family. Got married, have a kid on the way, and that makes me give a shit about the grind and getting better as I get into my 40s. In my late 20s I was pivoting to a new career and had massive success. But I couldn't find a wife until I found God and ultimately an inner peace that had been missing since I left the church in my teens.
