I’m almost 40 and I’ve never held a job for more than 4 years. They were good jobs too, but after a while I get tired of it or bored and I need to find something else. I know tons of people that “found their passion” and knew exactly what they wanted to do when they were in school. I never had a passion for anything… I need to constantly change what I am doing. The only difference is that I stuck to the same industry, that way I can build experience and so the next job is a bit better.

If the job is not fun, try finding a hobby that is!

In software, you're never doing the same thing twice.
That's not true, web developers are doing their functions.php over and over and over.
The whole point of software is to automate what was done manually before. If web developers are doing the same thing over and over, perhaps they're not actually programmers.
Yeah, but it rhymes.
