Are you disappointed in the script we're given at birth?

I am currently searching for a job. Graduated in engineering and pursued a job but did not like it. I am in a temporary job which doesn't create a lot of stress. I feel disappointed in the job market and in most things people don't really think about. It's exhausting following the unnecessary rules of society like office politics, drama, wearing fancy clothes to give the illusion you give a ****. I feel like I am an actor, just pretending because everyone tells me to. Pretending to care about people's drama even though they don't care about me. It's not that I don't have meaningful connections with people. I have great friends that I don't have to pretend around. I feel apprehensive to even try and get a job. Since I'm an engineer I am pressured to work 60 to 80 hours per week. After work, I hardly have the energy to do things that are actually important to me. I feel like we are pressured to work for all these unnecessary items such as computers, iphones, tvs. Ironically I have all these things, but I am feeling less and less interested in them. I just feel trapped by an unnecessary lifestyle that amounts to a meaningless life.
