The truly sad thing about this is how many people actually believe this, and use that sentiment to justify investing decades in thankless occupations.
"Loving what you do" doesn't mean you never have a bad day at work or don't enjoy weekends. It means you've monetized an activity you enjoy. It's not half as unattainable as you think (unless you only like one thing, and it happens to be wrestling, or something). Half of my team spends some of their free time on open source projects or their own side work - sometimes paid, but mostly not.
