Passion is what made Arnold Swarchzenegger great, Cristiano Ronaldo and many other actors/sport stars. If you read their biographies you see how much passionate they were about what they do...Arnold when training despite the huge pain knew, that each set he made would put him closer to his goal...Cristiano Ronaldo was always the first and the last to get out of training and when he was playing for Sporting at young age they even had to close the gym during the night because he would go there in the middle of the night to train...they had passion to achieve their goals.
Unfortunately, most people on earth don't have passion on their jobs, myself included, there are parts i like, but there are fews compared to what i dislike, but changing jobs at the moment is not a possibility.
If my crypto investments have a 10x to 20x increase there might be a possiblity that in the future i can work in the tourism industry that is one of my dreams :)
People choose their careers and jobs on what will they think will satisfy their material needs, not on what they actually want to do. I think people need to stop settling and be a little more risk taking, specially when young.
I agree, the big problem at least in my country is that I didn't have school advisors to give us counsel on future jobs and what do and so i had to rely on opinion of parents and family friends. I think its easier to be more risk taking when you're young, but at early thirties and when we already have responsabilities and depend on income its a lot hard...altough never impossible, there is always a chance, even its very little.
