Would you say that the only purpose in life is to work?

Kind of answers itself I know but I don't feel that working for 8 hours a day sometimes going 6 to 7 days a week is what humanity was meant for. In America, the people who work or have worked know the toil and hardship that come along with a job no matter how insignificant it may seem. I don't know too many people who are happy with the current job they have; of course in the beginning they may be but certainly after a while they are not. I don't really see people enthusiastically wake up every morning and say "I can't wait to get to work today". But then again who does? Pornstars? Then logic steps in for a moment. What would you have us do, quit all our jobs and sit at home? The economy would fail and would literally collapse on itself. But work is demanding and I do not see it getting any less frustrating. I need more insight on this but its an endless topic. How do others perceive the work life in America? I'm all ears.
