Personally I enjoy and appreciate routine work and I believe it often demands and develops valuable craftsmanship but without the time or the energy to be creative I would be unhappy.
Being creative is a passion and it must be great if you get payed for it or get recognition but even without success or formal education an artist will continue his development. It is very well possible that everybody has the need to be creative in something e.g. in cooking, decoration of the house,...so I believe we shouldn't ask where did you study, get you payed for it, do you receive recognition but what is your passion because fortunately we don't seem to have all the same passion.
