A few years ago I picked up a dumb mechanical second job at a rental store where I worked ~20h/month after work an on weekends. I didn't need the money but I needed the feeling of truly getting something done.

When I left the store at night, every customer had been served, every piece of equipment had been cleaned, the money had been counted. I was just done. It felt great.

I solve problems every day, I never get done, every day its something new that needs fixing. Every year that passes I feel more and more that I'm just not made for this kind of work :(.
