I think it is important to accept that people pay you to do things BECAUSE you don't want to do them, and that the work you enjoy should be its own reward -- at my age (53) I've seen a lot of folks get burned out thinking they were "getting paid to do what they love" only to discover that the love affair doesn't last when others are always calling the shots. Charles Ives sold insurance. Johannes Kepler did astrology charts. But remove that need to jump for the money and just do it because you love it, and amazing things start to happen, and oftimes that's worth more than money.
