Basically all of the caster classes run into this problem, though it's worst for wizards and solo clerics probably, since they just don't have the efficient kill methods that other classes with pets and charms and dots and mana regen have. Fortunately wizards do have quadding as an option later on, which helps, though you still have a short period of activity followed by a long rest. Grouping gives you more steady activity, plus sometimes chatting to keep things a bit more interesting, though finding groups with a wiz can be challenging.
As I've been suggesting, having friends who will play with you regardless of your class and/or having a guild to lean on to help find groups or other things to do is important with a class like wiz, imo.
If you do get fed up with wizard but want to keep trying the caster way of life, basically any of the other casters will play "faster" than a wizard does and many of them are more welcomed into groups... but anyone doing raiding really does love an extra porter and the hard dps burn a wiz can throw into a BBEG.
