<prompt> Human: Greetings friends! Im writing this post with the intention of learning more about the alternatives I may have if I choose not to follow the traditional career path. As of now Im studying Economics because of a natural interest towards it, but Ive come to realize that nearly no traditional job that I have learned about in that area besides politics gives me any interest. I feel like Im living a limited life, with no chance of turning back or alternative when the end comes, so I do not want to waste more than half of my lifespan working on a regular job, earning a regular income and making regular career progressions. I dont want to wait until my final years of retirement probably not even a decade to enjoy my life. Given this, my question is as follows I realize it varies widely from country to country and I may be posting in the wrong place, Im asking generally: If I were to avoid regular type jobs with fixed schedules that occupy nearly the entire day and basically no vacations, what alternatives should I fight for in the Economics, Finance, Investment, Management, Etc areas? If there are any and if Im not fantasizing about an imaginary world where I can spend my life doing things I actually enjoy instead of wasting it with jobs and stupid savings for when Im old and nearly dead.Thanks in advance!  <response>: Tbh finding a job you like is a very ingrained, very flawed part of the so-called American Dream. If you put good effort in and get praises for your hard work, you can find satisfaction at almost any job. Even my crappy retail summer gig back in the day I just showed up with a smile on my face everyday, ready to help the customers. Get a gfbf, get a pet, just someone who is excited to see you come home everyday. Thats where the true happiness comes from honestly.
