Working and Realizing It's Not What You Wanna Do

I know I've touched on this subject a few times already, but it's just so huge.  Doing what you love in life is probably one of the most important parts of leading a happy life in my eyes.  I think that a large majority of us are in the same boat as me.  I do have a pretty sweet gig, I work in a tv station which is what I went to college for, I make decent money, have benefits, work 10 hour days 4 days a week, and yet, I am not happy.  I consider myself pretty good at what I do, I can say that for a few people around here, but not everyone.  And that's where the problem lies. 

I've said this a million times before, it would be nice if you could just walk up to someone and tell them exactly how you feel about them, for example, telling someone at work that they are completely incompetent and can't perform their job duties to save their life.  But you can't, because it's not socially accepted.  So when you know there's a problem at your job, and you know how to fix it, but you can't, and nobody else will, it becomes an even bigger problem.  You're told to let the problem work itself out, or it'll take time, or, just keep your head down and it'll be fine.  There's only so long you can do that for before you start asking yourself "is it all really worth the payoff?" 

In my mind I'm only here because I want to get out of debt and get a house, or maybe move somewhere else and try something different.  I'm about a year away so I have some time to think about it.  In the meantime, I'll just keep bashing my head against the wall trying to get things sorted out here.

Why can't people just be professional and do their jobs like they're supposed to?
