Having a job is fine. Having something that gives you purpose is actually healthy for you. But I guess it depends what you do and you need to work for someone nice. It is the mandatory part and the "squeezing every penny out of you" part that sucks most.

Also, switching jobs when it gets tedious might be a good plan. Make sure to stick around for a couple years though, or else they'll see on your CV that you won't stick around long enough to be worth the effort.
