Has there ever been a role you were genuinely excited about applying for?

Not just “I need the money”, “this seems tolerable” or “better than my current situation.”
I mean genuinely interested, energised, intellectually excited, emotionally invested, hopeful or feeling “I really want this.”

Because I sometimes think a lot of people approach jobs from a purely survival/practical perspective and rarely feel actual excitement about work opportunities.

AIBU?
