I have to agree with Karl on this one.
Work is called work for a reason. It's what we
have to do in order to survive. If asked, "Would you still work if you hit the Lottery?"....most say NO. That is because regardless of their occupation, they would much rather be doing something they wanted to do as opposed to something they
have to do. Big difference there...and quoting the Hi-Jacker

....and then, when they gotta make a living at that which they used to love.....they find it just takes all of the enjoyment out of it. Then what do they do in their leisure time???

....Very wise point, ...what ends up happening is...you start saying to yourself, "this feels too much like work" and don't find enjoyment in it anymore. It's a never ending battle...there is no compromise. For me, I have to be content with how I make a living, I don't have to love it...I just can't hate it. There are however, some exceptions. My better half LOVES her job...(hairdresser)...toward the end of a vacation, she's quick to say...."I can't wait to get back to work, I miss it"
I WILL NEVER MISS BEING AT WORK!!.... I'm not sure if it's the social life that comes with being a hairdresser, the job itself.....or just getting away from me.

Bottom line is, you don't have to love what you do.......you just can't hate what you do. If it pays the bills and allows you to do those things you love doing during your off-time....your doing ok in my book.
