You can be burned on people, too. All it takes is one "bad" hire far enough up the food chain and some of the "good" people to quit.

Yes, but my point was to never choose a job based on the project you'll work on or on the product of the company. You WILL be disappointed.

I guess the best way to work on a project you'll love is to be a founder. But as an employee, you'll need a looot of luck to work on an interesting project. I'm not saying that it doesn't exists, but rather that they are pretty rare, and you have very few opportunities to discover those from the outside.

As a founder you'll need to deal with all expectations you see manifested here. It's not easy and probably not fun.
I work in Aerospace. You are so, so right.
