What are the thing that is intresting ( as per your opinion, if you are willing to share? )? I mean not everybody will get the job they like and it will be the boring thing to do ( but, still we have to do this boring job! ). But, life shouldn't be boring and it should be beautiful and enjoying.
The interesting thing isn't the technology, it's what the users/customers are doing with it. It's how it improves their lives, simplifies their business, enables them to build other products and increase profits, etc.
I personally think the people working on things like database and filesystem performance are doing really cool work. Any time you're taking conference papers and turning it into code to solve a particularly hairy problem... that's pretty cool.
