is it just a job or something you love?

Had lunch with wynnie just now.
we start talking about the new course that i wanna take up next year.
the conversation got to a point where she asked me - do you like what you are doing now, as in your job?
my answer was the same as i gave anyone - its a job. it pays for my food, my shopping, my family expense.

it got me thinking.
how many of you love your jobs?
as in you will not or perhaps seldom get the notion of - HEY what the hell am i doing all this now. i should be doing something else!
how many of you will fake mc as often as you can just to NOT go in office n see that dreaded pile of papers.
i know i dun love my job.
its just my rice bowl. thats all.
i know this is the wrong mindset but i bet out of 10 ppl, at least 6 ppl think this way.
what are the chances of us getting the job we like? the job we want?
even if we do study the courses we want , we might not land a job that we want.
i often envy friends who are in high positions or those who have family business.
but i know they are piled up with a hill high worth of stress & baggage more den i do.
like my director, since he's of working age, he's been with the company and working his ass off every night.
some of us will say he's a workaholic, but neither us understand the double consequences he has to bear when the business dont go well. the double scolding he has to face. the double explanations he has to give.
sometimes its even harder to rebuke when your parent is your boss.
the unhappiness of getting lashed at at work den having to go home and face the person at the same table and trying not to spew out four letter words.
in a good way, we get to choose what we want to do. or maybe fight for what we want to do.
for them its been fixed since they were young.
silver spoon, no silver spoon. i guess everyone has their shares of job woes.
