Seems about right to me! It's precious that you think you can compartmentalize your job. Good luck with that. I take it from the second portion of what I quoted that you're still in school and not actually working yet? You have no clue.

If you do medicine or something, you may hate it and suck at it but work hard enough and you'll succeed and you'll get rich in life. Same with languages, business, engineering. These are all very boring and tough subjects but there's lots of jobs out there for these subjects and they all pay incredibly well.
(another post) I've already said earlier in the conversation that I'm doing this and I'm happy to do this so that I can enjoy life outside of work, support my future children and be able to afford nice holidays. I'm actually hoping that I'll end up enjoying my job though, but if I hate it, I hate it.
ANYWAY, to drag this back on topic in some way, it seems like Fleur has gone through school, hated the experience and decided to spend her time doing something she loves. Kudos to her, and what luck that she can actually make a career out of it!
It's a good thing that even though she hated the experience that she actually continued with it. A couple of my friends have struggled with the decision between dropping out of uni and continuing with it even though they hate it. I always said to them they should stick it out cos it's better to have a degree than to drop out of one. (I am not saying that NOT having a degree is bad!)
