Definitions of "Job"

Merriam-Webster:Job - A regular remunerative position  

Oxford Dictionary:Job - A paid position of regular employment

Cambridge Dictionary:
Job - The regular work that a person does to earn money

Business Dictionary:Job - A group of homogeneous tasks related by similarity of functions. When performed by an employee in an exchange for pay, a job consists of duties, responsibilities, and tasks (performance elements) that are (1) defined and specific, and (2) can be accomplished, quantified, measured, and rated. From a wider perspective, a job is synonymous with a role and includes the physical and social aspects of a work environment. Often, individuals identify themselves with their job or role (foreman, supervisor, engineer, etc.) and derive motivation from its uniqueness or usefulness. 

Urban Dictionary:
Job -
1. Means by which at least 30% of your life is stolen from you to enrich the owners of a company making useless shit that some other poor idiot in a job will buy.
2. A futile effort for financial independence, social acceptance and personal happiness.

Isn't it interesting to see how the definition of a job evolves (or did not evolve) with time? The ideal that we see today that your job should be your passion... Could it be a result of the desire to make life easier for living? To make yourself happier? Or could it be a result of greed? Of wanting something more than what you really need? Of wanting to have the best of both worlds? It's interesting to see that a job is consistently seen as something done regularly to earn across all the definitions in the dictionaries. Just those 2 factors, that's all. I wonder when did "passion" come into the equation? Have I been wanting too much too from a job?

Lol-ed at the Urban Dictionary's definitions anyway.
