As we mature mentally, we need more interesting games to play, more interesting challenges. Work is many times the result of this.

It's the same with romance. When we are children we have a crush on somebody, become pretend "boyfriend and girlfriend", and as we mature the game becomes more interesting as it becomes real.

But it's all a game throughout life.

So perhaps it is those who enjoy work who has elevated their spiritual level, and not the other way around?
