I think personality type plays a big factor. For instance, my wife loves the routine. The routine drives me insane.

She couldn't do what I do all day and I couldn't do what she does all day. I asked her the other day, if we were millionaires, would she continue to work. Her answer, yes.

So it comes down to the idividual.
Very true.

One thing that I have noticed, though, is that many people who have a job that sucks lie to themselves with self-talk such as "it's not so bad" (and yes I am guilty of this). It is painful to actually be honest with yourself and say "no, this job is no good I deserve better". Believe me I am going through this at the moment.... (gc3833 I am not saying this is the case with your wife).
