Yeah, I agree with this. My aunt says you should always be learning in your job otherwise you're just languishing and I think it's a good perspective. Even if it's not your primary passion, you can still be learning and growing.

This framing resonates with me. I work at a membership association (IYKYK), which is an industry I didn't even know existed until I started working in it. But the thing I like (and sometimes hate) about my job is that there's constantly something new to learn. We're small (ahem, understaffed), so there's a lot of flexibility and some "we're doing this new thing, just figure it out" but overall it keeps things interesting. But I know that's the kind of work environment that would be absolute torture for others.
