Love the problem-solving aspect of engineering, but the day-to-day is starting to wear me down. Anyone else find their passion for the work doesn't always translate to passion for the job?

After being over 10+ years with my current employer, I find that 25% of the project I have are very interesting in which I don’t sleep until I complete it. The other 75% are projects that put me to sleep. But I know the company needs projects like those, minimum effort with maximum profits, to sustain profitability. So during times when I have boring projects, I stick my head into other department’s projects. It keep things interesting. I always offer my help in product support, supply chain, liaison, industrial, manufacturing, quality, and assembly line. I actually learn more from them than they do from me 😆😆😆
