do you ever feel like half your time at work is spent fixing other people's mistakes?

My husband used to complain about this, he became seen as a fixer. He was often hired in because hes very capable at his job, but suspected that they hired him to fix their issues. He wanted to create! not fix. But over time, this skill made him sought after. They pay him very well to do this. So, he creates in his spare time, when he has any.
Being the fixer has value. But, it sort of sucks.
