I can't complain much. So no, not really, I am generally happy. Work sometimes forces me to learn something new or look into something or what not, with fun along the path or feeling "fulfilled" when something is finally finished that I didn't like. In any case, without work I would spend my time less wise, since there is no more "force" to do something. I would probably go back to gaming many hours every day.
Sorry, it is very sad to me that you feel you need work to get these things from life
At least, employment
Work, to me, is something I regularly do for others. When I do something for me, even if it is the same, it is a hobby or whatever. So there is no need to be sad for me.
Not all things done for others are equal. I'm quite happy to help family or a friend, or a stranger in need. But some rich guy wants to exploit my need for money to get things done for him? There's no way i can't be depressed about that, and I'm baffled by anyone who isn't. There must be something lacking in people's self respect that makes it not activate when they're exploited.
