This will blow some people's minds on here: some people actually derive pleasure from work. I actually like working. I like researching, building and producing stuff. I would rather work than spend my time doing some stupid hobby. My only requirement is that I need to believe in what I am doing. I won't work just for money or out of necessity and I won't work just to make some rich asshole, richer. I also won't work out of some competitive drive like some people do. I don't even work for myself. I don't care about material riches. I only work so that I can later marvel at my creations. But, I still like working.
It's great that you have found a way to make your work fulfilling but unfortunately for a lot of people the daily grind is a matter of survival and isn't optional. If your only material riches are cheap food and a roof over your head are in jeopardy, you'll begin to care about them real quick.
