Medical researchers is a good one to bring up imo. They're all fully aware that on the off chance they actually come up with some massive breakthrough they're definitely not the ones who'll be raking in hundreds of millions of it, and yet they keep doing what they do. If it's drive and passion you're looking for it's right there in the lab.
By the same token, it's truly appalling how passion is weaponized to crush every last bit of productivity out of the handful of people who can tolerate 80+ hours a week at the bench.
