It's not work if you enjoy it.

No one enjoys work, so if your work is what you enjoy, you'll stop enjoying it fast.

Not quite. It depends on what you do. Work, these days, is primarily so un-enjoyable because it takes up so much time of your life. Think about it. Imagine any shitty job out there that you don't enjoy doing. Now let's say that rather than go for an eight hour shift, or a twelve hour, you only have to put in four hours.

Sounds like you could wake up every day and do that slightly more enthusiastically, no? The problem itself with work isn't that it's work. Because we always have something to do that we don't really put our hearts into. You don't feel like washing the dishes. But if you leave them there the pile will get bigger and eventually you'll run out of plates.

No, the problem with work in our society is that it takes up too much time of your life.

One hour of dishes? Sure. Four? Bit of a stretch, but still doable. But ten? Or twelve? Imagine that. There are actually people out there who spend their entire waking day washing dishes.

That's one problem. The other, of course, is that society doesn't like it when you don't want to take part in it's bullshit.  So it makes it extremely difficult to escape that system and pursue alternatives. It doesn't teach you other ways. And so all you're left with is tunnel vision, peering at that one and only terrible system.

Work doesn't have to be unpleasant though. Truly, the best form of work you could ever strive to do is self employed work. You make the time, you call the shots. But, sadly, you have to have the initiative, intelligence, and drive to pull it off.

Many lack some of those traits. And so they get caught in the trap.

I've never like a post more in my life.  And work taking up too much time is so true.  People end up working their whole lives away trying to make a living that they never actually live, which is my mother.  But over the summer, I actually did work a 4 hour job, well 4 hours unless you finished early and wanted to leave.  And I thought it was a great way to work.  Yeah it sucked at first because I have the mind set of binge working, so I get everything down first and quickly, and I would see my coworkers sitting around.  They still did their jobs, but slower.  Personally, I'd much rather go to a job where I get paid by the job I do rather than hours I sit there, as long as its done right.  But like you said, nobody wants to think of alternatives and just criticize the people who don't want fall into the system.  It's the biggest difference I see between me and my mother and honestly what causes most arguments.

Learn to separate pleasure from profession. The two don't and shouldn't mix.
