Do what you love... that people will pay you to do ^ I always felt like that quote was missing something You gotta understand and research. How many people are in that field? What are their qualifications? How do you stack against them? How many openings do they have each year? What seasons/quarters/times do they hire in? Will you be able to be the best candidate and show that in an interview at that time? What do people who graduate with that major make? What area(s) do the top people in that field congregate? Can you afford to live there with or without at job? If you lose one what's the market like for the next? Do you even want to live there? What's the culture of that industry? Are they straight laced corporate suits who make all their decisions on a golf course? Are they creatives? Hackers who could care less how they dress? Are you or do you want to become like these people? If you don't pay attention to these variables and more its likely that you will end up very unhappy "doing what you love". If you do and you find something where you can marry doing what you love with a sustainable wage... now that is when you're on your way to happiness.
