Necessary evil
You get the idea.
Mark Twain once said that "work is a necessary evil to be avoided." I'm sure that's correct, but if you're a beginner on a job, you must be careful if you want to follow Twain to a T.
Twain, you see, was lucky - He didn't have a real job. He as a writer did not have to sit the regular office hours, come to all the time-wasting meetings and generally put himself under the mercy of bosses, naming but a few "evils" at the office.
He wrote for a living. And he probably would have called writing "a labor of love" instead.
