LoL no. It's definitely an Anglo thing. I had a Spanish friend that I've played music with for years and I didn't know what he did until last night. I wish we weren't so focused on thinking that our way of life must be so perfect. Work sucks, sitting in traffic sucks, yet we spend almost all of our waking life doing just that.

I think every country has people with a personality-vacuum that they've filled with a job. But in my anecdotal, personal experience, Americans tend to do it far more often (they also work WAY more).

"Americans live to work, Europeans work to live."

It's less the core identity of people in the rest of the world.
