You can fill the gap with purpose with a "constructive" hobby, like gardening or painting.

While certain hobbies can occupy a person's time in a meaningful way, it's just not quite the same because you don't have the same sense of responsibility and people counting on you.

While the job itself can factor in, enjoying your job is more dependent on you, than the job.

I also 100% agree with this. There are a lot of people who, for whatever reason, just never learned to be happy. And even worse, they don't like it when others are happy. You have people on this board who argue if you like *any* job -- even if you work for yourself -- that you're a "slave to a capitalist machine and corporate overlords."

Granted, it's easier to be happy at some jobs more than others, and some amount of discontent is justifiable. However, if you try to make the best of a situation, you can often make that situation better.
