I agree to a point.
I love the work i do. It makes money and helps keep the family afloat, but since it is a leading role in early education with challenging kids it gives me the opportunity to do something that can help a lot of children that would otherwise be grinded down by the system.
But.
I still miss spending time with my kids. I still hate that i can’t support my wife the same way i could during our stay at home year together.
If i would be financially independent i would for sure do something beneficial to others with my time, but it would’t take up quite as much of my time and energy.
So yes, nobody has to work a white collar job. If you are privileged enough to have a choice, by all means do something that you love. But it still is something most of us have to do.
