AIBU to not give a shit about my job?

I have always been a high achiever and work in a professional career with security, good pay, high responsibility and endless scope for progression. I get lots of opportunities to develop myself as a leader etc etc.

It’s a job most people consider to be worthwhile and important BUT I just don’t care. I want to do the bare minimum and then log off. I feel like I’m constantly pretending to care about my personal goals, what I want to achieve etc. Everyone else is so keen and thinks the work is so important.

Am I the only one pretending or do other people do this?

Yanbu.
I like my job. I'm at my desk ready to go 5 minutes before my start time, I work hard all day, I leave bang on time and don't give another thought until the next day. I don't want to progress or take on more responsibility.
I've had jobs that consumed my life and I was utterly miserable. I now do exactly what I'm paid for and enjoy time with my family. No more lying awake worrying about work and having a constant knot of panic in my stomach.
