playing the game is a necessary function of corporate work, otherwise it will chew you up and spit you out. you can have autonomy if you've made the right people happy, the rest can get fucked.

To add some positivity... Art is absolutely something you can make money with. It's a struggle and you're going to be poor for most of your early career, but that goes for most jobs. Make art.
life is so much better when u find a job u like ( or learn to like the one u have)
If you want something done right, do it yourself.
It is "just a job" - just roll with it and pretend and you're fine.
