> but it just seems that almost every job out there is about squeezing more profit out of people
That is by definition the relationship of an employee and and employer. If they didn't make money off of you they wouldn't hire you (exceptions exist as always).
Edit: making sure i didn't missinterpret this sentence - if by people you meant customers then it's also what companies do.
> People who have really great jobs(not talking about money ofc), how did you find them
Try to abstract away the company. Raise your own bar, strive to be a great professional for your own sake, because you love your field of work. Progress your knowledge and skills for your own joy, not for your employers. Now, if you get into that mindset, even the worst company is a training ground to help you become better. It's a new level in a game. See how well you can manage in the worst possible conditions, making sure it is not taxing your mental health though.
