I have to jump in and agree with AxelF.
Some of the suppsosedly mundane stuff can be really interesting.
I think it depends on how you approach things.
Talking to clients, working out what they want from the system, and figuring out how to get that working for them can be a great experience, and provide a real challenge. OK, so sometimes it's also the worst bit.
You can also end up learning a lot of new things as a side effect of certain work.
For example, I'm working on automating a bunch of mobile phone network testing at the moment. Since I've never done any of this before, I expected to learn a lot about phone networks, etc. At the moment, though, I'm really learning a lot about regular expressions (of which I've had no previous experience), since a lot of the work is examining text output.
In other words, if you keep your eyes open, you'll occasionally spot something that you can really work up a good obsession about.
