Do you chose your career based on what you love ? Or what pays well ?

What I loved but that was a mistake. It became a job and then I began to hate it. I should've gone for the money. #Hindsight

I really wanted to be an accountant and was more than halfway finished when i changed to nursing so I'd have a job wherever I lived.

What you love! Go to bed thinking what you want to do next, wake up early eager to get started, never be bored, excel with ease, be an expert with ease. Ear it, smell it, live it and be it. You'll never get bored, be disappointed, under achieve, never be fired. It's self perpetuating and all consuming. You will be happy and content and want STUFF That you truly don't need and can live without! Just a thought!
Both. I like to draw, but an art degree just doesn't pay bills. Lmao

I chose it based on money, my work being judged objectively and the fact that there was a labour shortage meant that I could be a prima donna and ignore the rules at work. But I really wanted to go to art school.
i chose the smart thing originally which paid more, now i want to do what i love once i am able again.

A little of both. I'm good at it, pays the bills and a little extra to have fun.

have to like what you do and you have to make a living from it.
