Interesting how college ruined your love for programming and work got it back. For me it's almost the complete opposite. Studying Computer Science constantly fed me with new interesting ideas, and I still had more time to play around with those ideas. At work I'm just implementing some button or some boring logic 40 hours a week and after that I'm too drained to explore any of my (many) ideas further.
I guess it's a difference in incentive. I don't care whether anyone will use what I wrote, I just want to learn something new and explore ideas.
it was probably the general pressure and depression.
the costumers and the colleague were nice people. I enjoyed solving actual real-life problems.
after my first job, I went back to college (uni?) to get my masters. There I had lots of fun implementing some of the theoretical stuff.
