I totally agree with that. It's very easy to fall into the trap of staying in a job you don't like etc.

On the other hand - what should we do when a job is effecting our behavior whilst outside of the work-place? After all there are some elements about work which hold true no matter which industry we work in. The regular work hours. Often repetitive tasks. The use of authority and hierarchy in the workplace. These things and others can have a massive impact upon our behavior.

So is it more of an issue with that whole culture surrounding 'Jobs', rather than a personal preference to a specific industry?

I think anything we are immersed in can influence behaviour, and jobs/work tend to make up the majority of our lives. I think those who are truly disinclined to behave in ways that form the norm in their industry though, would be inclined to move on, until they find a better fit elsewhere. It can work both ways.
