Any labor with love is a privilege. Any labor without love is sacrifice. It's safe to say people are more than capable of being content with sacrifice. Foxconn workers protesting the enforcement of US labor restrictions is a good example. They're there to make a sacrifice, not live their lives.

In the west, resistance towards sacrifice is appears to be mounting. But what is work but an activity that generates value for which you receive a kickback? And there are plenty of activities that are lovable and that generate value. Hence, the movement towards lifestyle jobs and placing passion first is only natural. Entrepreneurs could hold the key here, because they have proven they're capable of generating those jobs, beginning with themselves.

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

― Confucius
