I'm very aligned with this. That's why I didn't focus too much on whether I enjoy the task, because every "job" will be drudgery after a point.
A woodworker has a new cabinet or something at the end of the day. It's a real thing that is useful in the world and even if you stopped enjoying woodworking you at least see real tangible results from your work. This is much harder to get from IT/software dev. That's why I try to focus on whether my work makes someone else's drudgery less awful. It gives me the feeling that I did a real thing that accomplished something (however small) in the world.
