Yes! More people need to think about this before deciding on a career path. Just because you love something and are good at it doesn't mean you should be doing that for money. We should all be prepared to burn out of work at some point and dislike the thing that made us able to afford things.

Couldn't agree more. It has been a relatively silly way of making a lifelong decision, as far as I'm concerned!

Interesting take. I like that you mentioned capitalism conflating passion and work. I think GenZ is trending away from corporate mantras: we don’t work where we love, we work where we’re loved.

That's such a great point! I agree and I think there needs to be a shift like the one you've mentioned. We need to feel appreciated in our workplace and that should come above many other factors. Thank you for your thoughts!
