Achieving Emotional Satisfaction from Work
Some people probably do achieve emotional satisfaction from their work, but for most people this isn't possible. I am sure doctors get satisfaction from bringing babies into the world, or saving someone's life, but for people who do endlessly meaningless jobs it is doubtful that they receive the same satisfaction. For most people work is just like it sounds -- WORK! It is work just to get up, get to work and get through the day without snapping at someone. The only satisfaction I receive (sort of) is from getting paid, and that has nothing to do with emotional fulfillment.
