It's actually possible to get meaning from what you do as well. May not pay the best in the world, but it's out there. I was in non-profit administration for many years, and I work for a law school now that helps poor folks, many BIPOC, get degrees so they can better themselves and their communities. Social justice people. I've also worked for a private conservative-owned company that only enriched some fuckwads, and I'll not be doing that again.
Also I run a nonprofit that I founded on the side, and we're hoping to hire our first staff person this year, I get a lot of meaning from that.
Basically if you work to change the world for the better instead of just slumping through your day, you feel good about your life, even though it's hard work.
Yes, there's that, too.
But even if you don't like your job and don't find much meaning out of it, it's still worth trying to find contentment and happiness in other parts of your life.
I've had jobs I hated with coworkers I loved. I've had jobs I've liked in places I hated. I've had jobs I mostly hated that I actually appreciate having taught me important skills I still use today (for example, a 3-year stint in restaurants in my 20's was miserable in a lot of ways, but it helped me stretch a tight grocery budget and fed me plenty of staff meals, and 20+ years later I'm still a great cook).
Jobs don't define us. For many people, they're just a small part of us. And we should go on to build fulfilling lives for ourselves across many domains, not just at work.
I had fun in college. My major didn't define my actual day to day, or my memories of that time. I had fun in high school. I had fun in elementary school too. I don't remember everything or even everyone, but I know I had a blast at those stages in my life, and most of the fun was had outside of school.
