I don't know if anyone else has found the same thing, but after flying for a living I found it all a bit boring. I once had the passion, but lost it.
I enjoy flying, and have done quite a bit of varied flying in GA, the military (both ADF and foreign) and emergency services (fixed wing). I need a bit more action, purpose and variety than just flying an aircraft can offer. Nothing does my head in more than mundane, repetitive tasks and that includes flying a - b in a straight line everyday. On top of it all, the industry is so poorly paid and pilots are exploited for years and years. I don't regret learning to fly and I still fly on a casual basis to keep my skills current, but I doubt I will ever return to the industry full time. I also have tertiary qualifications but the boredom of business is a fate worse than death.
I left to become a Paramedic and haven't looked back.
