There is nothing wrong with working at something you do not like in order to support that which you love. I have known people that aspired to be painters or authors who worked a much less interest day job to pay the bills unless and until they succeeded.
I have also known people to work a job they do not like to support hobbies they love. And of course, if you have a family, you may reasonably choose a job you do not like that pays better than one you like more but that does not pay well.
I do not understand those people who go through life with no passion, moving from a job they do not care about to TV with the occassional party. I do fully understand those who work jobs they do not like in order to support something they love or are passionate about though.
- ulf 16y agoValid point, but still: I there are things you love, do more of them. Incorporate them into every day. Do not create a mystical double life that is divided into work and pleasure. Try to make room for one in the other.
- fennecfoxen 16y agoMmm. Your job doesn't have to be what you love. Those jobs don't tend to pay very well, and may stress you out by making you compromise your creative vision (or just leave you sick and tired of the thing you once loved). But it should at least be a job that you're okay with and doesn't leave you miserable.
