I enjoy solving problems, and software is an interesting place to be. Learning should be fun, not a miserable chore; I typically have one or two software/hardware hobby projects going in fields totally unrelated to my work, just to solve a little problem, and because it feels really good to expand your knowledge. There are plenty of crappy boring jobs though (I never want to do typical web dev), so try to find something better if you're stuck there.
