This is a complex question. When did you figure what you wanted to do when you grew up? Are you doing what you are doing for the love of it or for money? or Prestige? <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This begins as school kids. When we would rather play than solve math problems. When the idea that tedious study work will prepare us for our future work as grown ups is injected into our mind. How often did you meet elders who said they loved their jobs? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you do what you love?<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I read this 2006 article by Paul Graham \u201cHow to do what you love\u201d and found it fascinating in the way he dissected the topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samples these :
On kids: \u201cActually they’ve been told three lies: the stuff they’ve been taught to regard as work in school is not real work; grownup work is not (necessarily) worse than schoolwork; and many of the adults around them are lying when they say they like what they do.\u201d
On Prestige: “What you should not do, I think, is worry about the opinion of anyone beyond your friends. You shouldn’t worry about prestige. Prestige is the opinion of the rest of the world.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guarantee you will enjoy reading the post while nodding in agreement. But then, as Paul Graham writes \u201cDoing what you love is complicated.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
