Every job comes with pros and cons. I used to be a Chef - I loved cooking, but there's so much tedious work associated with it - prep work, inventory management, hiring/firing, etc...

Now I'm transitioning into the business world, and finance. I absolutely love trading stocks, and the thrill that comes with it (especially when you're on the winning end of a trade), but of course there's plenty of downsides too (reports, spreadsheets).

And of course, I write code for fun and to automate certain tasks, but even that can be tedious.

There really is no perfect job, but there are good ones. I think it's more important to maintain work-life balance than to be overly concerned about how much fun your job is...
