LOL. My Dad was a laborer at a steel mill, a job he took after getting out of the Navy - which he joined at 17 so he could get 3 meals a day and take some burden off his mother. When the mill closed in 1980, he took a job as a 50+ year-old stocking grocery shelves. I don't think he ever made more than 20K a year
Hearing him say "Follow your passion" to us kids would have been even stranger than if he had suddenly started speaking Swahili to us.
Follow your passions works if you are independently wealthy to start with. Most of us have to take jobs they don’t like to keep the lights on and food on the table.
