Love or Hate?

I used to think there might be a job out there I would love to go to. I’m starting to think that it doesn’t/never will exist. The whole meaning of work to me is to do something you do not want to because you have to. If it wasn’t work it would be fun/entertainment and we wouldn’t be paid for it. I’m curious if this is a common belief system held by other people. How many others out there dread going to work and believe it is impossible to make money at something they would enjoy doing.
Lately I’ve been trying to do some soul searching. I’m kind of fed up with technology at this time and I am seriously considering leaving it. The problem is that Technology is what I am good at and what I have always been good at. I don’t think I could excel as much in a non-technology position as I could in a technology position. So basically the question that I need to answer for myself is if I am happy with mediocrity and leaving technology or if I should stay with technology and maybe achieve something some day worth bragging about?
