Agreed. I think we tend to underestimate how highly people value interesting work. If you want to do work that most people would rate as interesting, you're going to pay a very high "passion tax" for the privilege. People will put up with more competition for fewer openings, drastically lower salaries, longer hours, worse work environments, and meaner coworkers, in order to do work they feel "passionate" about. I have interesting hobbies and am happy to do boring work in exchange for the better pay and working conditions and more free time to spend on my hobbies and family.
