Count me as another person with a job (academic) which is practically never boring. Indeed, my choice of job has been somewhat limited by my total inability to tolerate boredom. I have post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms in boring half day training courses (which I have to do on average once every 5 years)! I sometimes think that if I hadn't had to endure so much boredom at school, I might be less emotionally scarred by it, be more able to tolerate some boredom as an adult, and have a wider choice of career open to me! I'm not complaining for myself, it's worked out OK, but I absolutely will not make my DS go through what I went through at school.
