dont think it's lame a question.. it means that perhaps your
quite a philosophical person.
depends what industry your in, and also your situation.
some ple denote work = money.
while some, work = passion, gain experience, learn new stuffs,
new insight.
or work = trying to get a status in that particular industry.
Those that say work is boring is because they are doing things
they dont like, they work just for the sake for working.
