Is there nothing you enjoy doing that doesn't involve work? If you can't think of anything, would volunteer work satisfy the need? Working with kids, working with the homeless, working with the mentally ill or other autistic individuals as a mentor?
I hear you. But I actually know very very many people who enjoy their jobs and find satisfaction in it. Including yours truly and many of my friends and family, in fact probably most of them do enjoy what they do.

It doesn’t mean one shouldn’t enjoy other things like hobbies and other enjoyable things.

I agree there is more to life than a job but besides looking for satisfaction, one has to eat. For most people work isn’t optional.

Volunteering is good if one can afford not to work or in addition to work
