Absolutely. Jobs are a means to an end. I fully support people finding meaning in their work but for a lot of people it's literally just do we don't starve. I don't need to make six figures+ (obviously dependent on region) to be happy. I just need to enough for food, a bed and then to not stress too much about it when I'm done. “I don't dream of laboring.”
Being able to leave the work at work is the big thing for me. If you can't, you're wasting valuable energy on work during your free time, which degrades your experience of non-work activities.
I don't dream of labour, but I'm fine with it. So long as it doesn't interfere with my actual life!
