Well there's another way to look at it. Coming from a more socialist place than America, I was often told that it is always possible for an American to make a living out of whatever he or she likes (and finds fulfilling). For example, Elon Musk's meaning of life is to lead humanity to Mars, and the best place to make a living out of that dream was in America.
This fact (whether it's true or not) leads to the conclusion that if you have a job, it's because you like doing this thing and you find it fulfilling. Meanwhile, in my immediate surroundings, I usually meet people doing a job they don't dislike to much and finding meaning in their hobbies.
