Choosing a career solely based on passion may not be practical in the long run. Chris Rock advises focusing on what you are good at and what is in demand rather than blindly pursuing passion. Scott Galloway adds on by highlighting that those advocating for following passion are usually already financially stable. Opting for a job that is not your passion but pays well can actually provide more freedom and satisfaction. Having a well-paying job allows you to save and eventually pursue your passion as a hobby. Jeff Bezos emphasizes finding enjoyment in at least half of your career as a key to success. It is essential to acknowledge that every job comes with downsides, but balancing a fulfilling job with a good income can enable financial flexibility to pursue passions outside of work.
