are jobs REALLY that horrible?

Now, I'm not at an age where I can get a job (1.5 more months to go), but when I tell someone I, literally, can't wait to get a job so I can get some income, they tell me I'll reconsider saying that later when I hate my job. I've also heard something along these lines in other places (mainly the t.v.). I can't help but feel like Jurgis from Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, but I think that that only applies to people who don't work that hard. When I go to school, it's hard work, but I MAKE it fun. I feel that it would carry on to my job as well. I'm kinda one of those "working is fun" types I suppose.

So I ask, are all jobs this way? What if my attitude carried over to my job, would it still be bad?

And additionally, what do you do to make your boring/annoying/frustrating job fun?
