Genuinely curious about how people make long term careers in the, "Corporate", "Cubicle" career spectrum?

I graduated college recently with my bachelors. I sort of went to college, not knowing what I wanted to do, since alot of my passions are derived from things that you don't necessarily need a college degree in (writing novels, screenplay, film making). I always took the advise of, "leave that as a side hobby", and focus on a career that can bring bread to the table sort of job.

​

I recently got hired with a company that is honestly a great work place. People are genuinely friendly, and promotes a really open and inviting work place environment (think your stereotypical silicone valley type of office environment). So I can't say anything bad about the company itself...plus the job pays extremely well for what it is.

​

That said, I truly can't comprehend how people make long term careers with this type of work environment. Stuck in a cubicle, sitting down for the majority of the day (my back and ass hurt so much after work), consistently stuck in rush hour traffic, and after FINALLY getting home, all I want to do is eat dinner and pass out....then I have to wake up in the morning and do it all again.

​

Aside from that, it's very uninspiring work. I work for a company that wants to grow, and be profitable for it's shareholders and major company stake holders. There is no mission, there is no cause. It's all about money, and I am there pawn that helps them reach closer to that goal. I show up 8 hours, eat dinner, go to bed, then do it again. I feel like a robot, who only feels human on Saturday, and Sunday.

​

Granted, it's my choice, and I'm sure I will move on from this position once I have my finances in order ( I took this job, because the pay was so high, and had student loans I needed to pay off)...With that said, I truly don't understand how some people can do this soulless, robotic work permanently till the day they retire (at age 65) and spend the last 10-15 years of there life getting to do things they actually want after.
