Wrong question, I think. Chris isn't "most people" (no one is) and what matters is the available tradeoff of enjoyment, money, social value, etc., in the jobs he might take.

My impression is that most people who are in a position to make a decent career out of software are able to find jobs they enjoy pretty well. Not necessarily jobs in software -- they might like something else better. Chris might still choose to take a job he doesn't enjoy (e.g., if it pays much better) but he probably has the option, even if it turns out that "most people" don't enjoy their jobs.
