Agreed.
Who really thinks that work *should* be fun?
There are aspects of most jobs that are fun but a huge number of people just want to get in, get done, go home and enjoy the life their job pays for.
Unrealistic expectations of working life are only going to make the whole experience shittier for a lot of people.
It's like telling people "work in our coal mine, nobody ever got dirty working here, and it's not dark, dangerous or underground"

I saw a survey the other day, thousands of high school grad kids here in Canada expecting to earn 3 times the national average salary by the time they are 30 and own their homes at 40. I did a big LOL. Who the hell is telling them they can achieve this and how shattered are they going to be when they realise what's in store for them?

It is a given in every life,
before you are thrust out into the world you expect the world to accommodate you.
Soon enough you find it ain't so and you begin to see the wisdom in practicing what you see and doing unto others before they do unto you.
