I never agree with this, the idea that all other jobs suck. I understand the grass is always greener on the other side, etc., etc., etc., but there are plenty of people in this profession who would be just as fulfilled doing something else. Working for a newspaper isn't the end-all, be-all for everybody, and that's OK. It took me a looooooooong time to realize that, by the way. A long, long time.
Do we go overboard with our whining about this profession at times? For sure.
Does that mean that some of the whining isn't valid? No.
Of course all other jobs don't suck. And I didn't even come close to saying that. Few, however, are as gratifying.
How many of your 9-5 friends want to talk about their jobs at the end of the day? And how many of them want to talk about ours?
