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. :)
I worked at a nuclear plant being constructed near Toronto for a few summers while at college. Just a boring paper pushing job. One day there was a giant blow up with construction managers screaming at my bosses because critical steel work could not be found,asked if I could help
He said it’s complicated, been going on for weeks. Steel supplier said they shipped the parts but no one can find them. I asked for the part tnumbers and looked them up on the blueprints. I drew them on a few pieces of paper, asked where the steel goes once it’s received.
I often ask clients what made unbearable jobs bearable, where they found meaning. Most often it relates to having an impact or deriving satisfaction from developing expertise, even about dog food!
You might find "Working" by Studs Terkel interesting. It's a pretty dated oral history--people from every class just talking about their jobs--but it's surprising how often they say the same things about work and the aspects of it that provide meaning.
