If you find yourself saying, "This isn't what it was cracked up to be," sit back and analyze. Is the core of the work something you love? Can you rearrange the downside in any way?
No job or career field will be doing what you love to do 100% of the time, but are you getting to do it most of the time? And are the odd things that come with it tolerable enough? If not, could you make a few tweaks? Change to a smaller or larger office? Hire or fire someone? Find something closer to home or in another state? Refuse to do something, or request to do something?
If you're very lucky, you'll find something so natural and enjoyable to you, you'll talk like Satchel Paige, who said, "I ain't ever had a job, I just always played baseball."
If you're working at something you're passionate about, all of it becomes seamless - the good and the bad. It becomes what you are, as much as what you do, and it is not what others call "work." It's well worth finding and I encourage you to.
