That's a long read, but a very interesting one. I've been debating that for a long time.
I actually left a job where I was heavily involved with oil and gas for a job in the education industry because I felt it would have a lot more meaning.
It feels a lot better, indeed, but there is still the business side of it that's not always ideal.
I lot of friends of mine say they just wouldn't know what to do if they didn't need to work every day. I find that line of thought a little disturbing.

I think it is indoctrination. People simply havent sat down and thought about what they would do. They are usually too tired to pursue anything after working all those hours. The norm is go to work, come home, eat dinner, spend a couple hours watching tv or online, then bed. Rinse and repeat.
When people are working 50-60 hours a week, not including commute times, that is eating a chunk of their time. No wonder they have little interest in much else.
It will be a shift for many people. The biggest is loss of identity. We associate who we are with what we do.
