> your air conditioned car..

I would rather drive the car through a beautiful landscape (that I pick), instead in rush hour trafic that I don't have a choice in..

>Then work in an amazing office..

That I did't choose...

>with fellow gifted engineers and civilized people.

That I didn't pick..

There is a poem in Malayalam with a portion that goes like this "Bhandura kaanjanakkotilanengilum bandhanam bandhanam thanne paaril". It means, "bondage is bondage even if you are in a golden cage".

So the point is that office work is vastly less freedom (thus a kind of oppression), even with all its perks (that is for the few that indeed have those perks).



I think you would agree, when you choose a job you are choosing it based on a few base components. Job duties, pay, culture, location, travel requirements, hours per week etc... If these do not match up with what you want then its your job/right to get a different job at a different place with different components.
