It helps to find something that relates to your interests- I work in Recruiting and I love the challenge of finding the right people for the jobs that I'm assigned to. Some days can be stressful, but I like that my job gives me a creative outlet.
But if you find something that is connected to what you love- whether its animals, helping other people, reading- then it can be possible.
I've been at my job for five years and it's given me a great sense of stability even when other aspects of my life aren't going so well.
