I work an office job for a software startup company. I put in about 40 hours a week, and this job does not have anything to do with my degrees. I however, really like it because it affords me the opportunity to indulge in my other hobbies/extracurricular activities. Its a stable job with benefits and I stunt on my friends who have weak ass jobs.
My word of advice, work and play can and should be separated. Take an active role in doing what makes you happy outside of work, it reflects a positive demeanor when you are at your actual job.
