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. |
But once again, I think the problem here is the narrow definition of work. Work does not have to require the routine of which you speak -- it's just that prescribed career paths often do, which is one reason (of many possible reasons) why a person might believe all work ill-fitting.
While I acknowledge that a certain percentage of people may prefer doing nothing to doing something meaningful, I honestly believe that most people would gladly work their tails off if they were able to make a real connection between their work, their sense of purpose, and their preferred environment -- and would be happy doing so.
And as I mentioned before, I believe synergistic work is available for any person willing to find and claim it.
