You can't like it until you obtain expertise in that work. And once you are an expert, it's a pleasure. Once you build a foundation, the fun really starts, because you know enough to interpret opinions, challenge conventions, and develop independent theories. MBAs from top schools average 18 months in their first jobs. I'm glad I stayed three years.
Most people try to move on after one or two.
The artist is nothing without gift, but gift is nothing without work. In 1990, a friend asked me to write a book with him. Personable, attractive, and socially minded, he was looking forward to getting a big advance and then going on the talk shows. He had no interest in actually writing the book. I loved the writing, but I didn't really anticipate the work involved.
