I just find it funny when people talking about doing what they are “passionate about” or what they “love.”

The things you are passionate about change as you get older. Sometimes it’s not a certain field or subject, but a challenge or opportunity.

Eventually, everything just becomes work. Better to do it in a good environment that pays well, and provides a good quality of life.

Find a job that provides you with a lifestyle that you can pursue what you’re passionate about outside of work, whatever it is.

I enjoy outdoor recreation and wildlife photography, should I become a wildlife photographer? No, stupid. But, I have a job that gives me alot of vacation time, decent pay and weekends off so I can pursue it on my own.
