I find there are a lot of articles and books about finding your passion. It is a great notion but the reality is that not everyone can get paid or make a living doing what they are passionate about. What's even more ironic is that I know someone who is making a living doing a hobby, but most people second guesses him and ask, "Can you make a living doing that? Do you stay busy enough?" Even though his answer is yes, I find it ironic that we say "go find your passion", but if it doesn't fit what we think you can get paid for, we question it. Seems a bit contradictory.
