I know work is going to be boring sometimes. I know there is going to be drudgery and pain and monotony. Well aware of all of those facts. There's maybe somewhere between that regular boringness and pain we have to put into our work and me waking up for a job every day and thinking to myself "I'm wasting my life."

Find a cause you care about and work in that. Renewable energy, biotech, software for research, medical, get the point? If you’re building software for pushing paper you’re not going to feel good in the long run.

I'd be really happy with boring and unpleasant, exciting and unpleasant has been more of my experience with work and I have to say that it seems like a worse combination.
