Does coding become less fun when its a job?

I really like coding. Its like a puzzle almost. And I want to work in it not just because I like it but also because I think for the most part I'm good at it. But what I'm concerned about, is that while it may seem fun when you're doing it for yourself, does it become less fun when your working for it?

like anything, being “forced” to do something in the context of it being your job, can take away some of the enjoyment because you have to do it whether you feel like it or not. but any job can become boring and monotonous if you do it day in and day out, so you might as well be doing something you enjoy on some level. also depends on if the nature of your projects at work and if they mesh with your personal programming interests. but overall even when i have to work on a problem that is making me miserable, i would rather be solving problems and making stuff than doing almost any other realistic job.
