Like work?

  No, like work you want to do. Imagine everyone around you is allowed the opportunity to choose their career. You however are the son of a plumber, and have no choice but to be a plumber. This plumbing business is 1000 years old! Why throw away the family name?! Well, because I'd rather not be a plumber and I'm perfectly capable of something else.

    > No, like work you want to do. It doesn't work like that for most people. > Imagine everyone around you is allowed the opportunity to choose their career. You however are the son of a plumber, and have no choice but to be a plumber. Many people end up doing something similar to their parents. Maybe you won't be a plumber if your dads is one, but it's far more likely you'd be a blue-collar tradesman than a doctor. It's also far more likely that a doctor's one will become a doctor or a lawyer than an electrician. Also, IMHO, this idea that the path to satisfaction by pursuing some kind of dream profession is a fairy tale.

      Sounds like you didn't find yours. I know plenty of people that did find their dream profession so it's might not happen to everyone but it's factually not a fairy tale

    It's not that simple.
