your job can be your hobby. that is what many japanese feel like. not everyone loves american way of life of buying every electronic with credit card debt and then having to do shitty jobs to pay back. also the definition of shitty varies. some japanese find great pleasures in simple jobs as long as they feel they are learning and moving toward being better. we can definitly see that americans do not work like the japanese are. the service culture, the experience at any kind of starbucks or macdonalds, the infrastructure and the state of roads. why do you think everything is pristine in japan? because they pride themselves into achieving something greater at the end of every day of work. Its obviously a generalization but as a whole it shows very well. the biggest culture shock u can have is fly from JFK to HANEDA and go to a starbuck in both of those. time is finite so better make every moment aiming to serve something bigger than "i hate my job and want to finish at 5 and whatever in between is an obstacle". and im not praising that im just showing the good side of it and not only the bad side "working too hard". no model is perfect
