I don't skip to work every day whistling, but it's probably the best job I've had. I only started in my current career about 11 years ago. The hours are fine, the compensation pretty good, and the work atmosphere is pleasant enough. I'm pretty good at it too, and have the respect of my peers. One of the upsides to working a lot of really bad jobs in your 20s and early 30s is it gives you perspective on things. As much as I sometimes the question the value of what I do, I know that it could be a lot worse - I could be getting paid badly to doing boring, often unsatisfying work at a toxic workplace.
Having hobbies and interests outside work helps a lot. I don't rely on my job for status or personal fulfilment - just a steady pay cheque doing something I'm reasonably good at and don't hate.
