Disclaimer: I'm a very privileged guy.

90% of my work is stuff I really enjoy and would do for free, although I would do it slower and take more care over it.

10% is stuff you couldn't pay me to do, that there is no way I would do if I wasn't coerced into it.

If I was working totally without coercion, I'd spend a lot more time teaching. Data engineering (and more broadly data in general) is really bad about not getting the experienced people to teach the newer people, and this is something I'd like to overcome.
