I get confused when I come across things like "Do what you love." I believe that there is always a degree of serependity when it comes to discovering what you love doing. You enjoy doing something, you do it more - eventually you "love" it. I was not a fan of my job (I am a developer) at first. But it paid the bills and it presented an intellectual challenge. I worked at it, became familiar with tools and patterns of the profession, and now I "love" it. So did doing something that I did not love destroy me (when I was first staring out). No. Does doing something that I love (my job now) destroy me? No. Clearly if you do something that is not sustainable given your means, you will be in trouble. I do not see how "loving" the thing in question comes into play. EDIT: spelling
