27 Intrinsically Rewarding Jobs That'll Make Burnt Out Employees Reconsider the Value of Money

When you hate your job, it's tough to think of much else. After spending 40+ hours per week slogging in the mines of your woes, anxieties, and terrible management decisions, ripping yourself away and distancing your psyche from the workplace can be a daunting challenge. Most of us dream of doing something else with our time but justify our current employment for the sake of that much-needed paycheck. 

But what if money were no object? What would your dream career look like? 

For the first time in a long while, I love my job. However, I've had my fair share of work situations that had me contemplating a sick day every morning. For most, staying with your job is usually a question of money, but as burnt-out employees can attest, there are moments in the workplace that have us imagining an alternative reality. There are jobs out there that are simply intrinsically rewarding but not necessarily glamorous, high-paying, or making our ends meet. 

Sometimes, the simplicity of being a barista at a local art cafe or caring for senior dogs at a rescue center is intoxicatingly fulfilling. Keep scrolling for some other dream jobs that have nothing to do with bankrolling your lifestyle but instead your gratification levels.
