Love to do? I volunteer to teach preschoolers how to ski on the weekends and then go skiing with my family and friends. It brings me great joy and the community that surrounds the organization I work with is absolutely incredible.

The rest of the week I do the software development. I like it most of the time, sometimes I love it, and sometimes (thankfully less of the time and not recently) I hate it and can barely bring myself to call into stand up.

On the balance though, I am deeply grateful that I like my job. I don’t think finding paid employment that you consistently “love” is feasible for most people. Besides, jobs, people and organizations change over time, so loving being a Dev in 2007 doesn’t mean you’ll love it today.

If you are in work you on the balance like and it provides the ability to be fulfilled outside work I’d say count yourself lucky and don’t sweat not having found something you “love.” Perhaps eventually you’ll find that thing, perhaps not, but if you look back at your career and say you mostly enjoyed it then I’ll say you are be looking back at a successful career.
