I feel like I kinda hit the jackpot with my job rn. In the US, I work at my local community college (where I'm a student as well), and I don't think I could ever make myself work for a for-profit business. I'm paid well, treated well, and most importantly, my work is meaningful to me. I happened to land a job that in the language lab (as an interpreting major), and I know that I'm working to directly benefit my community-- not to exploit customers or to be exploited for my own labor. It's bliss.

Not disagreeing with this post whatsoever, and fuck capitalism. Just wanted to go on a happy lil rant because I'm lucky enough to have a job I love in spite of it (for the time being).

Same. I help elderly with tech at a retirement community.
Feel appreciated every day. Feel like I've made a meaningful impact by making people's days easier.

Think the key is benefiting a community like you said. It's borderline impossible to change the world you live in, making it better for others is fulfilling if you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity.
