Why or why not? I think it would be amazing to be passionate about my job, but I've never figured out what I really want to do...other than write, but, so far, that doesn't pay the bills.
What I do now, I love. HVAC. or Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning. It pays well, you'll almost never be unemployed, good benefits too. Having owned a restaurant for 5 years, it had its ups and downs. Really enjoyed the people but the hours weren't the greatest. What is it that, when you do it, brings you alive and gets you excited? If writing, then write. If helping others, do it. Some jobs you do because it puts food on the table and others you do because you want to and love to.
I've had jobs that I looked forward to going to every day and I've had jobs that I dreaded.
I went to college to study music but at a certain point it just seemed too hard so I went into computers. Some of my computer jobs were exciting and interesting but others weren't. Sometimes I wish I stuck with music but overall I'm pretty happy with the way my life turned out so I shouldn't second guess myself.
I'm retired now but I was passionate about my job (air traffic controller) - excellent salary - sit in a nice environment getting paid to talk - huge picture in front of me and I control it all, like a giant video-game - didn't even have to put a quarter in ! :-)
You know ... Im a cna and I love it!!! I work with one of my patients daily and hes quadriplegic, but hes the best man I have ever met!!! I find it very gratifying to be in his life and help him out and others that need it the most...
It's called "job" because you're not supposed to enjoy it.
Meh.
