I wondered at this, and how you'd come to the conclusion that jobs were
equally dull and boring as they are in Muggledom.

My own reading suggests the opposite. The people who we see at work in the
books all seem to be happy and fulfilled in what they're doing, not ust the
ones in "glamorous" jobs like Bill and Charlie, but even the ones in a more
"menial" role like Stan and Ernie on the bus.

There doesn't seem to be a WW equivalent of things like burger bar
attendants, call centre slaves, and so on.

Unless you can give me some canon to the contrary

Cheers
