Yea, work in and of itself is great. You have to do SOMETHING with your time every day, and doing something productive is extremely satisfying. Filling out spreadsheets for 8 hours with a 2 hour commute then going home to eat instant ramen in a noisy shoebox is slightly less satisfying.
I used to be an engineer for a mega corp, and it was soul crushing. I would walk out of my cube and pace the hall in a kind of existentialist crisis wondering if this is really what life was all about.
