You get paid because it's *not* fun?! I hope you're not suggesting he force himself to like it. Granted, you shouldn't expect to thoroughly enjoy 100% of what you do, but you should shoot for as high a number as possible.
You should never compromise your happiness for a paycheque. Doing so contributes to setting a precedent in your life for settling for less. We all harp about never compromising on values or ethics in the face of pressure, and I don't see a difference here either.
