Well, sort of. I see the same thing a lot with software developers.
They don't really enjoy doing what they're being paid for, and they
whine about it. Instead, they could start their own "little" project or
join an Open Source project or something on their own time for
fulfillment while still getting that paycheck.
Unless they're bound by the kind of one-way employment agreements IBM
used to be famous for, that basicaly required you to give up the rights
to ANYTHING you developed, even on your own time, while working for IBM.
You could be a hardware guru who had nothing to do with software, but
any programs you wrote belonged to IBM. That included any programs you
wrote AT HOME on your own time, on equipment IBM never provided or paid for.
Vice versa for programmers who invented hardware widgets in the garage
at home; including hardware widgets that had nothing to do with computing.
