Exactly. If you have a job playing your instrument, yeah that's great. You're doing something you love, but you better get paid doing it too or you're gonna have to find something else to do. It's a nice happy, idealistic concept to say that we all play for fun because we love the music and playing generally, but just like any job there are times that you would enjoy it and times you wouldn't. And just like any professional job out there, on those bad days, you better not let your clients (audience) know that you're not enjoying what you're doing!
