I'll agree. It'd be nice to do something because we love doing it or such, but tbh the bills come first don't they. When you're in school your parents are keeping you, most even keep kids through college and university. When you hit the real world it often comes as a shock.
Would be nice to do game development all day without needing to be paid, but unfortunately the rent-man and other utilities unfortunately don't see it that way.

Depends what you enjoy doing I guess. Of course there are times that all jobs even the most fun become boring and cumbersome to do.. but best thing to do is put down your head and slog through it. I've found software/website development, that's done solo generally does have less appeal that working with people. Something about it makes it less fun than having everyone pulling together to create something cool.
Personally I don't like Bouncy Castles, and my lass would kill me if I tested breasts (not sure what for, bouyancy?) .. though tbh I would find myself getting bored of it quickly. Atleast with software dev, your not doing the same thing day-in day-out. That's the only thing that irritates me with most 9-5 jobs. Doing the exact same job over and over for 8hours a day.
