Having a job sucks.

Not having a job wouldn't suck if it wasn't for the fact it usually means you also have no money.

Having no money sucks.

It would be cool beans to not have a job, but have money.

Having a job is fine. Having something that gives you purpose is actually healthy for you. But I guess it depends what you do and you need to work for someone nice. It is the mandatory part and the "squeezing every penny out of you" part that sucks most.

Also, switching jobs when it gets tedious might be a good plan. Make sure to stick around for a couple years though, or else they'll see on your CV that you won't stick around long enough to be worth the effort.
