nobody (should?) looks for satisfaction at work. that's the marketing human resources and PR feed you so you spend more time at work. work is a means to sustenance. you help someone make a lot of money (either exploring space or showing ads in a plagiarized fart app) for a paycheck and then you use that money to sponsor your life style. work is not supposed to be a hobby.

I had a job that was incredibly fulfilling for about three years. The remaining five years became less and less fun, leading me to move on after more than eight years with the company. Saying that "nobody looks for satisfaction at work" is an over-generalization. I worked with others who also loved being there. It might be rare, but it happens.

Err depends on what sort of job you need to look at what level you are on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. A job working at MacDonald's is not the same as say Dactor or Vet.

I used to believe that when I was younger; a little experience cured me successfully :). It's not that it isn't possible to have a job that also is your hobby and your passion - it's just extremely difficult to find one. That is, unless you're really accepting and easy to please, or young and still in crush with programming. I've seen quite a lot of the latter types among young developers. Sadly, I've entered workforce long past my crush period, so you couldn't make me satisfied with life by offering to pay for making a random website in currently hot framework. The most realistic shot at really working on what you love is to start your own business, but even then you often have to pivot to something less interesting to you, and either way, in time you're likely to end up doing mostly administrative work. So yeah, I ended up assuming that work will not be my hobby, and it's up to me to maximize its profit while minimizing time spent on it.
