Ambivalent is the best word for me.
I'm finding that I will eventually resent anything I am compelled to do under threat of poverty, no matter how much I may otherwise enjoy it. Knowing that my life can be uprooted without warning if some grumpy asshole doesn't like my work certainly doesn't help.
All that being said, I have to admit I am more fortunate than many others with my career. At least I can do it in my pajamas with a cat on my lap. Little to no risk of permanent damage to my body from my line of work. And my salary is pretty good compared to the abysmal median pay in the US.
