I love working at my craft - it's fun solving various UI/UX problems as a frontend engineer, and implementing fun animations. I also enjoy mentoring people, helping people with their careers. I left a prestigious PhD program in math after 4 years in part due to disinterest (and the other part being complicated personal issues), and enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserve - life in the military gives you appreciation for just about anything else. It was hard finding regular work, but after spending some time teaching myself how to code & build websites, I lucked into the field. I was just thankful enough for finding a job with a career track. For me, dialing back my personal expectations of doing a high cloud in the sky accomplishment helped me become happy with my life. Perhaps this is what is causing you to not like your job, although only you can answer this question.
