It's an irony isn't it? People keep saying out there that you should have passion on the work you do, but knowing that isn't enough especially when you have your livelihood ie. your salary on the line. And that is assuming most of us in the workforce, if you are a freelancer or even a business owner you would also have the passion, but the purpose of that would be different. And that just brings us back to why when we do anything with a passion often associated as a known hobby, we don't do it for the sake of earning money. They just can't simply coexist even in the ones that supposedly can, like illustrators. There will be that line, and I just hate that it exists.
The solution? I hope that you are passionate in more than one thing that can put money on the dining table.
