I'll change to the opposite direction here and say try for anything you want to do and put everything behind it. Just don't take such huge leaps that falling short would leave you broke or hopeless. I still stand behind everything I said about people not having equal opportunities though. That's applies to everywhere in the world. It's just life. Believing otherwise is what I like to refer to as the American mythology. The world cannot support, in it's current capitalistic mindset, everyone becoming rich and having wildly successful jobs. That's not how capitalism works, folks. It's designed around having a a few people have most of the resources. You may support that idea or not, but I fail to see how any sane person could argue that it's not true.
I think the hard reality is that anything can become monotonous. You can become numb to anything if you do it often enough. Soldiers get numb to killing, firefighters get numb to always saving people and putting out fires, etc. It won't matter how exiciting or important the job is. Eventually, some boredom will set it. The problem arises when you feel like that all the time. You should be getting some kind of satisfaction from your job. Play around with options. Try learning about about different occupations. See if any hobbies you have would make good jobs. Career hunting is not an exact science. I still don't know for sure if I'm pursuing the right job, but time will tell. I can always go back to school and train for something else.
