The last job I had where I did interesting things was my first job in the industry, fresh out of school. Pay was abysmal and it was part time, but the things I did actually helped people and made their lives easier.
Since then, despite my best efforts to create technology that actually improves things, the things I make mostly just end up being co-opted to game bullshit metrics.
I think the truth of the matter is that most of the work that keeps the world running is just plain dull, and about 80% of it is just to make the people at the top feel like they're actually doing something.
