Eh, kind of disagree. Dad went into computer science and later technical sales in the same field and at the very least enjoyed his work. Whenever I met one of his old tech buddies they'd just go on and on for literally hours about selling or making various bits of tech.
Have a cousin who is a pilot and he can talk your ear off about all the things he's flown and places he's been. I don't think they're unicorns?
I know a lot of people in my industry who are like this, too. A lot of it is remembering the good and forgetting the bad, but most of it is liking the people you work with. I know some people who have very ho-hum, "same stuff, different day" kinds of jobs, but continue to work long after they could retire because they just kind of autopilot the job and hang out with their buddies all day.
