However, it would probably be better if they try to find one burning passion that will carry them for the rest of their life, or at least some sort of field that allows them to build on from previous projects. Given sufficient time, people can create very amazing things like dwarf fortress. Dwarf fortress was a culumination of several years and is already one of the most sophisticated fantasy simulation game ever. By the end of my lifetime, it will probably have everything that you could want in a simulation game.

As long as I work hard, I'm sure I can find a new opportunity somewhere else.
