There was self-help type book (quite a good one, but its name escapes me) that talks about the Passion Mindset and the Craftsman Mindset. The Craftsman derives joy from mastering their craft, learning from past failures and improving every day. You can be a Craftsman in any career which allows for outlier performance - public speaking, writing books, trading, academia, entrepreneurship, software engineering. The Passion mindset is about finding your strongest passion and then working in that area. The problem with this is that most people don't really know what they will be passionate about from the start. And worse, it's even harder to know if the current thing is what you are most passionate about! You also may not have a skills edge in what you are passionate about.
