No. Even fun hobbies have grind. Play an instrument? Grind the scales and rudiments. Play martial arts? Practice 5 types of punches, kicks, throws, etc. 10000 times so you can learn the advanced stuff-which is really just more combinations of basics which still need the grind. Paint or draw? Grind.

When that grind starts being necessary for your survival—congrats on your “work”.

None of that means you can’t find a vocation that you enjoy (generally)—and the parts of it you don’t like as much, you can tolerate or grind through or improve until it doesn’t suck anymore.
