People who find their meaning outside of their work rather than through their work -- ergo most people.
I am thankful for my employer that provides a salary for me to allow me to do fun things with my family and take vacations and all the fun stuff that actually create memories that I will cherish when I am older and no longer working.

- jimmy1 8y agoYou also sleep roughly 1/3rd of your life. Sleep doesn't particularly excite me, either. I don't live my life thinking everything needs to excite me.
- jjeaff 8y agoPeople are a lot more nuanced than I think you give then credit for. I am excited by business. By creating things and seeing them work and be used, by digging into the finances and engineering ways to save money or make more money, by working with people that are fun and interesting, by testing out new marketing ideas and seeing what works and what doesn't. So, for me, it doesn't matter so much what the product of the business is (as long as I am not actively harming someone) and I suspect that is true for a lot of people.
