These days, I think a lot of students think that homework (and chores, for that matter) is not fun. They don't want to do that. I would guess that the folks who did Apollo figured that it was a) fun, b) worth their time, and c) really cool. I'm also going to guess that most of them at least took the time to do their homework right...

There are companies out there where employees are passionate and have fun. SpaceX is just one example. That's the type of place you want to work, if you can, and you're passionate about the same sort of thing.
