Focus on finding your talent rather than your passion. Mastery generates passion. Aim to excel in an area where you can be in the top 10% with a high employment rate. Pursuing fields with low job opportunities can lead to economic and emotional distress. Developing mastery in an area will make you passionate due to the economic benefits, camaraderie, and relevance. In your 20s, focus on finding your talent, excelling in it with discipline, and developing a savings habit for financial stability.
