I don't mind doing this job, most of the time, however as I get closer to retirement age I find my interests have shifted. Instead of climbing the career ladder (not that we have one here) I am more interested in climbing on an organ or piano bench and practice. Steve mentioned finding passion in something and I think I found mine. My job is a means to an end; it allows me to provide for my soon to be college bound daughter and pay my mortgage. As for managing my career I have gone as far (up the ladder) as I can with my current employer, and this is fine with me, I have security and have no interest in starting over in a new job for a little more money. As the years go by I find myself focusing on non-job related activities, anyway my two cents worth.....
