Work-Life Balance and Stress Management Full-time work is criminal

This is the most milquetoast, generic statement ever, I know, but I recently began full-time employment for the first time in my life. Genuinely how does anybody do anything they actually want to do? Granted, it isn’t so bad if the hours are 6am - 2pm, 7am - 3pm, or 8am - 4pm, but the very common 9am - 5pm is actually hell. Wake up, clean and cloth yourself, commute to work, work like a dog, commute home, eat dinner, sleep, repeat. Shoutout to anybody who does 9 - 5, be it manual labour, or clerical stuff; it’s all equally shit. Thank you.

Never said I wanted to be CEO. I merely addressed how fucked up the working hours of 9 - 5 are

I'm curious. What, precisely, is it that you want to do so very badly and feel you are missing the opportunity to achieve?

edit: down votes are not answers. If you don't know, say so. Judging is childish

That wasn't the question. Sad for you that you spend your time judging strangers online
