I believe that my original post sort of yucked his yum. Since he said that he currently has his dream job, any negative criticism of the "dream job" concept can be construed as a criticism of his actual professional situation by transitivity.

Of course it isn't the case, I'm genuinely glad he found his calling but it isn't mine so we've been talking past each other in this particular discussion. In a way he's right, this conversation is more about me and my feelings towards capitalism than capitalism itself but this doesn't say much, it's my page after all?
