Getting started is usually the roughest part. A bunch of crap that you don't care about, suddenly you have to care about. It gets better once you start gaining ownership of things. You can start to make a personal stamp on things, enough to keep you going. That's not to say the job itself doesn't matter. Some jobs just never become fulfilling, for whatever reason. But it's not a black/white thing; there aren't discrete classes of "fulfilling jobs" and "unfulfilling jobs". In my experience I'd say any particular job will max out somewhere between 0% and 65% fulfilling, after you've been there a while. There's always work though, even at the best jobs; otherwise it wouldn't be called "work".
