Honestly, I think there's always going to be something one doesn't like about their work. Whether it's the commute, your boss, the culture , the pay or the work itself. I think it's a challenge in life to find everything in one job that suits your needs. And in my experience, it's really hard to find great management in a company. I've had some of the worst managers/bosses alive. And your boss can make or break your attitude towards your work in general. I'm 50 years old and have only had 1-2 good bosses in my entire life! I've worked in higher education, large corporations, non profit, small business, family run businesses and in virtual environments. And it's been rare that I've had a great boss. Maybe it's just bad luck for me, I don't know. But I am guessing from what I've seen from others that great bosses are really hard to come by. Your boss (to me) is one of the most important aspects of a job. I've basically hated every job because I've had such terrible bosses.

So, one is very very lucky if they have a great boss, a great company AND a job that they like. To me, that's rare to have.
