I recently figured if I play too much and burn out, I may think of my job as something more enjoyable that gaming. That's quite ironic. Does anyone else feel that way?

It has in the past, namely when I felt "compelled" to do dailies. Obviously that was entirely my choice, but I felt like I was missing out on improving my character if I didn't do it, and yes, it was less enjoyable and seemed to drag a lot more than my job.
Im in a part time job while being in a night college...
I f***ing hate my job...
But soon, ill be better off
Madness will consume you!!!
I can't unsub from my job, so I don't know.
i've always enjoed more a job than playing wow , guess because works i got weren't daily chores infront of a pc that amount to nothing in the long run and dont entertain me
Once when we finished early and where asked to help with demolition... Some thing about smashing a wall down with a sledge hammer never gets old.
Fucking hell. This is actually true.
I've been with my current employer for 3 years already (I'm a proud jumper otherwise) and I'm staying in godawful city of London because this is where my job is.
I could already be in Canada or Norway to try a different setting, but no, stinky crowded London it is, because my job is just so nice.
While WoW sucks huge fat brass monkey balls.
I don't work and I spend the same amount of time on a daily basis of one that who work on a daily basis. So I see WoW as my hobby/life/job but at the same time it's not a job for me because I am enjoying it a lot more than any job I could possible have.
Comparing the Garrison to shooting things with lasers, x-rays, ionising them in plasma and burning them, to flying UAVs, or just the opportunity to travel to places tourists just don't get to; then no. Science can be way more fun.
Right now, everything but cancer, aids and death is better than wow.
I currently get to work alongside a good friend. Being able to hang out and have fun at work with her exceeds WoW's fun currently. But then again hanging out with friends I often find more fun than Games I play a lot of.

God the over-exaggerations on this site are starting to become tiresome. Obviously if everything but those 3 things were better you wouldn't be spending time on this Forum complaining about WoW.
I am a postdoctoral biochemist who works on the structural and mechanistic basis of mitochondrial disorders. My job is way more fun than WoW.
Sometimes my work is very rewarding, so yes. (Programmer)
Mother pus bucket!
I'm a PhD, not a medical doctor. So I can't help you there! Mitochondria are the small bodies inside cells that make energy. They contain a bunch of enzymes that work in sequence to convert glucose into ATP by transporting electrons to oxygen. Sometimes these enzymes go wrong, due to genetic disorders, and people get sick, or die, as a consequence. I study the structure and mechanism of some of these enzymes (cytochrome bc1, if you're really interested, google it) in order to understand the molecular basis of these disorders. So I get to do a lot of interesting spectroscopic work, fast enzyme kinetics and molecular biology.
I like my job more than wow. Don't play wow atm so of course.
But if i would think about it when i did play i'd still enjoy my work more.
There is nothing better than going to work at 7 on morning and drinking a cup of coffee with ur friends and talking shit for 1 hour until starting to work and than talk shit and have fun all day together when working. Social life and work is life
Tho it's always a relife coming home behind computer, but not for too long.
Molecular Biology, today's real men Lego's. I was studying Pancreas Cancer origins between 3 type of epithelial stem cell. I stopped at the beginning of my Doctorate. I had a different point of view as my boss at that time, had enough and quit. (and it turned out a few years later I was right, or closer to the truth then he was).
I now work as a boss in an Analytical Lab, testing cosmetic products. My job is a pain in the ass. Between coordinating other departments, dealing with my employees and taking care of most problems I can say it can drive someone crazy overtime. Its sometime frustrating, but my 12 hours shift goes really fast, and at the end of each day you feel like you've done some good in all this mess. I dont see much difference from when I was Guild Master and Raid Leader, minus the pay. (Im just a player now, retired from 6 years of RL/GM. I was calling it my 2nd job... I had given enough for the community)
WoW is now/still my escape. So of course I like it better then my job. I need to work, but I want to play WoW. Big difference there.
