Yeah, exactly.
I think a lot of "follow your passion" types also miss that a lot of passion businesses are 90% business (sales/marketing/accounting/leasing/HR/administrative/paperwork/phonecalls/BS) and 10% the thing you were so passionate about.
It's important to at least like what you do, and to find some purpose in how you fill your time. But it's a rare person who actually finds doing their job more pleasant than sitting on a beach / reading a book / watching a film / scrolling HN / etc. I've worked with some, and I don't really envy them.
There are limits in each direction.
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoI like the word "dignity". It is important that as a society, we allow people to experience dignity in their work, no matter what it consists of. This is different from the question of how much they like it and how much they get paid. All jobs, no matter what they pay, should bring sense of dignity to whoever does them (and in our current economy, most jobs should pay more than they do).
