Every person who is already rich likes to say do what you love. That's great advice once you're financially set, but until then you need to find something you can tolerate that makes money.
- yetihehe 4y ago> find something you can tolerate that makes money. That has different answers for different people. I've had this conversation several times: - Them: "You work hard? Try working as a mechanic/builder". - Would you like to change with me? - Nah, I couldn't keep sitting 8h doing mundane office work day after day. I'm a programmer, but I also helped build a building so I know what is hard physical work. It typically gives more satisfaction than programming, but programming pays better.
- quickthrower2 4y agoYeah I didn’t give that enough nuance. I should have said do what you love to the extent that it can make you a living. The novel writer works as a technical author. I wanted to write games for the Acorn Electron when I grew up. Writing Typescript for web applications ain’t a bad second.
