But I can relate to your "I can't imagine spending my life doing some job I don't care about just to earn a living" attitude.
It's called "work" because people pay you for it, if it were fun enough to do it anyway this wouldn;t happen. It would be lovely to be published and even lovelier to earn a living from writing, but it does not seem overly plausible; meanwhile, so long as it's indoor work with no heavy lifting, internet access, and I get to go home at 5 every evening, I'll pretty much do any job people will give me.
