Yeah, no where in this post is he whining about wanting anything for free. Most of us choose a career when we still have little to no work experience so we have no way of knowing if something is a good fit for us. This person found a job, wanted to be good at it but over the course of their time there they decided it wasn't what they really want to do and now they want to try to figure something else out. It's okay to make adjustments to your life. Try new things. Figure out what works for you and what doesn't and make changes from there.

There's nothing admirable about being Squidward.
