Honestly, I don't know if there is such a thing as the perfect job. I suspect the daily grind becomes apparent regardless the career choice. I can imagine how doing the same thing for 20+ becomes dull and uninteresting, especially if you have arbitrary deadlines, superiors to report and so on. The way that I personally cope with this is, accepting the fact that my job is a job and at the end of the day, the only thing that really fulfils my life are good health, exercising and spending time with loved ones. Whilst I try to enjoy my job as much as I can, it's just a means to an end. I think a trap that some of us fall into is letting our careers define who we are and once that happens, it becomes very easy to lose the sense of self.
