Never do anything your love for money. If you are intrinsically motivated to do something bringing external factors like money into it might ruin you motivation

Never do anything your love for money. If you are intrinsically motivated to do something bringing external factors like money into it might ruin you motivation and love for the thing you had. High chance of burn out.
Find work that has great synergy with your hobbies/interest but is not exactly the same. Either requiring similar skill or being the the same or related field. That way they will fuel each other.
And most importantly, don't try to find meaning in your work (except maybe if you work in non-market driven employments like education/health care but sill beware). That is something a simple farmer that directly interacts with his produce might have experienced but modern capitalism it way too alienating for that to work. Most of the time you wont be even able to tell if you individual output makes any difference and if so for better for worse.
Find meaning outside work.
- georgex7 4y agoI think people should strive to find meaning in work, even if it's difficult. If they can't, then at least they gave it a shot. And of course, you should find meaning outside of work as well.
