Sadly enough, graduating college with an English degree and seeing absolutely no employment prospects. Decided to go to law school for no reason other than to give myself three years to figure out what to do with my life, now here I am 22 years after graduating having been an attorney this whole time. Never wanted to be an attorney, never expected to be one, don't care a lick about the work, and if stopped tomorrow I wouldn't miss a second of it. I did sort of fall into a niche part of the legal business, I consider myself very lucky.
It also provides very well, so I enjoy other things which have no relation to work. It's sort of an odd situation to find oneself in, and I certainly appreciate those who found a job they really love.
