There two simple school of thoughts and if you think of it this way, it will all make sense

1. work is a sustenance, you do it for the money and want to do as little of it as possible since you don't enjoy it. It does not define you.

2. work is a passion, the money is a side effect, and you want to do as much of it as possible because you enjoy it. It defines you.

The whole discussion on where you sit on the subject is based on which camp you see yourself in.

The conclusion being, don't judge people for which side they're on. The cards just landed that way.
