If you added 'For myself' at the beginning it would make more sense as an argument.

Assuming others feel the same about work, or that they only spend half their waking time there is pretty short-sighted.

I, for one, place no worth on a person by what they do, or what I do, to make a living.

As far as I'm concerned, we are not our jobs, and I am sure quite a few people are living their lives with unfulfilled potential because they will never be given the opportunity to find out what they are truly good at or capable of. They are spending most of their lives trying to survive while making the rich richer.

To me it's a sad state of affairs all the way around.
