It depends on what is "problem solving". Philosophically everything is problem solving.
Here's a contrived example.
Let's say you became a house builder because you liked building houses from scratch. In a few years you find yourself working for a company and you are the window frame expert. You calculate, design, draw windows for the bespoke houses. You also make sure they fulfill building regulations. All day long. Note that you don't get to make the windows, other guys in the company do that.
Then you realize that this is not what you had in mind when you wanted to become a house builder. But the company pays you very well and you have some nice co-workers. You need to leave but you don't.
We can argue about the specifics, but stuck in solving that type of problems (especially if it's for incompetent co-workers) can drive you mad in the long run.
