I worked in a pet shop (shocker) while going through school. It was mostly very boring — standard retail stuff. I wound up learning *a lot* about dog food, and pretty soon became the go-to person for customers with picky dogs, sick dogs, old dogs, dogs that chewed on their feet..

Developing some area of expertise relevant to the customers I was seeing every day made my job tolerable, and at times very happy (like when a customer would report that the food allergy I suspected seemed to have been abated by the food I recommended)

Sometimes you have to find purpose in the work you have — when you do that, you'll be better at your job and happier to do it. But don't lose sight of the very real possibility that the things most important to you can also feed you, and it's your task to figure out how. :)
