I remember coming across a few people who said they quit their jobs during the days of $5-10 steem,that did not work out so well.
Seriously when people talk about job fulfilment and the likes, they imagine a work filled with zero stress and perfect synergy. Real life doesn't quite work out that way. We may find faults in our jobs but it is possible to derive a sense of satisfaction from it.
I like the idea of picking and choosing, but the reality of it doesn't hold up. We are spoiled for choice in nearly all things now, yet are getting unhappier, no matter how much we choose.
