Art is like this. I trained to be an animator but left when it became apparent how much of working at a studio was just A Job.

Really, thinking about my various friends with some kind of creative life, this is every single field where sometimes your core skills are something you picked up because you actively liked fooling around with them, and managed to find a way to make a living with, and sometimes are something you picked up because it's what your guidance counselors pushed you into because it was a field with a lot of growth potential that was vaguely aligned with what you actually enjoyed doing.
