I worked in a bicycle shop, when I was a teenager.

II figure that most of the time if a person hates his job he's probably not very good at it. Mediocrity is an individual issue and not a job description.

My job is a PITA but I really like working because I'm good at it. I like being good at something, being the go-to guy, being looked up to and respected as a leader in my field and an SME. Don't care if that sounds arrogant, it's true. It took me almost 3 decades to get there.

IMO pretending that doing nothing or doing very little is better than working and growing and striving to be the best you can be is a little misguided and hopefully something that can be overcome with maturity.
It smacks of giving up and failure.
