As you have basically consumed the energy you would for your own projects into the job. The only way it works is if you have a passion for something AND for doing it for someone else.

That's the theory of the day job: in many disciplines it's tough to get to the point where your discipline will comfortably support you. In the meantime there is nothing wrong with a day job. Just, a day job that's not toxic. So you can pursue your discipline the rest of the time.
