How Much Should You Love Your Job?

Whenever people ask me about my job, I tell them the truth.  I don't love the job itself, but I love everything the job brings with it.  The work/life balance.  The 9/80 schedule.  The benefits.  The monies.

I see all these people striving for a career that they absolutely love, and I get it.  You spend 8+ hours a day working, so you should be working for a place or a cause that you can fully stand behind.  But I don't know, that's just not me.

I guess the primary question is this: how much should you love your job?  Is it "wrong" to just view it as a means to an end?

Just some food for thought.
