Hmm. Well. Sure. There is often a drastic difference between learning the theory of something and then actual work of applying it. To me many things are interesting yet it's the practical work of CS that has felt the most easiest vs the value it brings to me. I would say a big part of learning anything is getting accustomed to the thing and molding your own brain to function the way it requires you to. Having studied and worked in CS has made my brains a lot more logical with the probable wilting of the more feeling-based thinking patterns. Didn't happen overnight but I guess my neural pathways were already inclined towards it so the jump wasn't that huge. Yet I think I could have been reasonably satisfied with any work with a layer of written abstraction (so writing in general) and some practical application to it. That's what I feel my natural advantage is. With physical labor, I think I would fared just as well. But I think in that case I would have gotten less out of my capacity (brains and impact-wise). I would say finding the thing that you can do what others deem too boring or tedious to do or learn with the intensity you are capable of, is where your best potential lies. This might also make it feel like "not-working" while you are doing much better than the average person. And if you feel like you _are_ working, then you should be doing great.
