Is a dog werth having even though its hard work?

Definately!! It may be hard work to start with, especially if you get a puppy, and you have to be prepared to get down on your knees and clean up wees and whatnot, but it is the best feeling ever, coming home to your dog wagging his tail!! Having a dog is great coz they are never in a 'bad mood' they are always happy to see you and want to please you, which is more than i can say for most humans!! If youdont want to put in so much work then maybe adopt a friendly adult dog from a shelter, but make sure it is suitable for you!
