Ask HN: I simply hate working. What do I do?

Going to keep this short and sweet.

I will simply never be happy working. That's it. I've known this deep in my soul since my first job at 14 years old, and I've been miserable at every job I've had since. By all means, I have a great job now -- remote, flexible, decent pay, the company isn't a complete shit-show, in a field that aligns with my interests.

The 9 to 5, 5 days a week, grind mentality is complete insanity to me. If I did this 3 days a week, sure; maybe I could see it happening? But doing this charade for the next 30 years? I legitimately think I'd rather be dead.

Outside of winning the lottery, what the hell do I do? I'm not cut out for this shit.
