- The dopamine reward kind. E.g., food, sleeping around, alcohol. The dopamine response burns out eventually, and you're left with nothing.
- The deeper satisfaction kind. The sort reward I imagine a civil engineer gets, knowing he designed the bridge he drives across every day. I figure this one can last.
Additionally, I figure some people "love" the superficial parts. Who will love their job more, the game developer who is passionate about test automation, or the game developer who is passionate about video games?
I think in general to find that kind of enjoyment at your job, it's about the skillset you love to employ (Problem solving? People skills? Politics? Care?) and finding the jobs that fit that skillset, rather than trying to pick a job that associates with puppies because you love puppies.
