For me, putting up with parents was way worse than putting up with a boss. When I lived with my parents, I had no personal space but didn't know it. I thought my room was my "personal space" because that's what they told me. But it was only true for a very stretched definition of the word "personal". When you begin living on your own, you feel the difference.

Also, putting up with a boss is easier in some kinds of jobs, e.g. if you're doing some startuppy thing and everyone shares the same goals. I don't remember ever feeling subservient to a boss in my life, because all my jobs were interesting and that provided enough motivation.
