I think passion matters. If you aren't going to be self-employed (most people), and you don't land some really great job (most people) then there will likely be a bunch of things that will suck about your job. If you have some intrinsic passion about the tasks, that will carry you through more

Though I'd say it might be a good idea to avoid making your favorite thing your job. Because all of that stuff could suck the fun out of your favorite thing, and then you've associated a lot of negative emotions to what used to be something that could get you out of bed in the morning
