Lawyers are often known assholes, and in most cases have fun pretty much exclusively at other's expense. I hope their jobs aren't fun, because when it is, it can be deeply disturbing.
Doctors can assuredly have fun in responsible ways, and you know what? I want my doctor to be a happy person who enjoys their livelihood, because if they aren't happy... well...
The working poor are an explicit example of what becomes of you, should you find yourself lashed to unsavory tasks as a life sentence. Very obviously no fun. What little fun there may be, is incidental. Asking that question is sort of tone deaf. Like asking:
Well what about the cow in the barn? Is she on board
with becoming a hamburger after she's done giving us
all that milk? We'd better ask.
One has to assume that no one aspires to a life of working poverty. It just sort of happens to you, like a cruel prank. Possibly as a direct result of lawyers having fun.

There are times when things aren't fun. Sometimes it takes discipline to continue when things aren't fun in pursuit of a goal that is noble (or fun).
