Realistically, I still mostly love my job, but every job has parts of it that people hate.

Pro athletes usually love their own sport, but have grueling travel schedules and mandatory media appearances they don't like. Some of them seem to like the sport itself just fine, but hate their colleagues or the organization they work in.

Doctors may love saving lives but hate the recordkeeping piece. Or the hours. Or they might actually hate their own patients as people, from the frustrations of trying to help people who won't help themselves.

Once we understand that every job has different parts we can love and hate, the key is to find a job where the bad parts are worth putting up with so that the good parts make up for it.
