When I was a student, I also wanted to do theoretical physics, make discoveries of new particles, etc. My professor told me then that any creative work gives satisfaction. He was right. Since then I have been working in differend fields and each time a work well done brought satisfaction and pleasure to me, as well as a good reputation and a salary. I still have some creative projects on my table, but I am unemployed for 2 years now, so no way to do what I want, despite a whole successful career of a researcher in physics. C'est la vie.
