Can most people with a job ever know freedom?

Whatever the job unless it's just something you love doing and would otherwise do anyway -- can the typical 9-5 + commute + time getting ready + any extra time/company events, etc person ever really know what freedom is?

for most, from the age of 4-5 years old their life revolves around a schedule. No time to ponder life for an extended period of time until they're 65+ years old.
