Nope, not at all boring. I love to see people take the leap and find happiness and fulfillment in their work. In my life I have worked everything...from dishwasher to police dept...from salesman to manager...from retail sales to wholesale buyer...from carpenter to plumber....and a lot of other stuff in between.
In '78 I had a good paying job as a service mgr for a housing dealer and when he became drug addicted I left as soon as our youngest son graduated college in '88. It took a leap of faith as Mrs Rupert did not have a high paying job at the time. We were almost broke from college bills, but no one owed any college debt....and we were debt free. Within 2 years I was making more than at my old job......but MUCH more importantly, I loved my work and my customers....was happy ever after!
My business contacts led to Mrs Rupert's job around 2000, and she has been there ever since. She makes more than the average plumber now....and hopefully will keep making it until she is 80....at which time I will insist she retire!
Yep, if a person can find their niche in employment the rewards are fantastic!
I had good bosses and bad, and worked for good companies and not so good....getting it right makes all the difference in the other part of your life. Too often our personal life suffers because of our job...and that should never happen!
Regards & the best of luck to you.....you are excited, that is the first step in your success!
