I dunno. Sometimes working towards someone else's goals is a reasonably pleasant experience: if they're paying you well enough to help you save up the cash meet your goals, if the work itself is interesting, and if you have the latitude to do your job the way you want to. Then as long as you don't get too attached to it and you remember that you'll walk away from the code someday, caring is much more fun than the alternative.
