It's probably a little bit higher, but I think that's true.

I think a big reason for that is that when you're 18 and you've never had a real job, money is a serious motivator, and you choose a career that promises to be well-paying rather than fulfilling. Most people don't figure out that a fulfilling career is worth infinitely more than a well-paying career until they've already invested several years into their career, at which point most are too afraid to start over.

But just because most people hate their careers doesn't mean the OP has to.
