<p>OP,
I do not see anything to complain about in your situation. People are different, different personalities, work habits, social interaction needs, interests. If you are not bored with yout life, then what is actual problem that you are pointing out? $30k / year is not such a bad idea in this economy, a lot of people would even work for free just to get an experience. My first professional job that was not much different of had less responsibilities than my current job paid $12,000 / year and getting this job made me exceptionally happy. Nobody should be in business of changing their personality, it will create emotional problems. Remain yourself no matter what. I have to be busy 100% of time to be happy, others like to watch TV, and third like to be in touch with friends 100% of time, carriying cell into bathroom. There is nothing wrong with any of them, just different.</p>
