When will work be fun???

Is there work that is actually fun? I mean honestly, is there a job that someone out there in this world genuinely loves doing. People always say I love my job, but do they really unconditionally love their job? There has to be moments where they cannot stand the thought of work. I'm currently working at a small resteraunt in Waikiki and tomorrow will be my 4th day of work. My first day of work was okay and I looked forward to the thought of getting tip at the end of the day and being paid. However, I learned that the materialistic things that come with a job cannot outweight the mental aspect of not wanting to be at work and doing manual labor usually gets the best of me. Going into my fourth day of work, I dread the thought of having to get ready to go to work and being tired the next day. I always thought that people who play sports for a living can genuinely say they love their job. For example, pro basketball players are able to play 15 years in their NBA career because they genuinely love their job right? WRONG!!! Imagine having to shoot billions and billions of jumpshots through the course of a week, and in the midst of it, putting your body through tremndous stress, causing pain in the long run to be unavoidable. So, my final conclusion is that all jobs have their consequences and no one can really say they love their job. I mean, up to some point, people are satisifed and happy with where they are now, but they will come later to realize that they could be doing so much more in life and will end up not being satisfied with their job. It's human nature to always desire more than what we have and to never be satisifed.
