Well, he wasn't forced into it. You can't force people to write like that. I guess he wanted to.

The usual word is "playwright" and yes, Shakespeare did indeed write plays. Asking this question is like asking whether the Pope is Catholic or whether Tiger Woods knows how to Golf.

We have no means of knowing what Shakespeare wanted to do as a job when he was young as there are no records at all which would indicate this.

He did it for over 20 years. He didn't have to do it if he didn't want to (he was still an actor and part owner of the theatre). We must assume that he enjoyed his work.

Well, no, not when he was a baby of course. He started writing plays when he was in his twenties.
