... to what?

Not everyone has an obvious way to make money doing what excites them. The most exciting thing I do most days is climbing, but even the best climbers barely make money.

I don't mind programming... I certainly don't dread it, and occasionally I particularly enjoy a problem I'm working on. But I wouldn't say I walk to work each day "excited and enthusiastic."

Sorry, getting to this late. The best climbers may barely make money, but I think it's fair to guess that they're excited and enthusiastic about climbing. That's my point. Most people want to hire the best that they're able to.. and there's a high correlation between being really great at something, and loving it.
