Choose A Job You Love, Don’t Do What You Love As A Job

July 21st, 2009 by Charles Ma Leave a reply »

Ever heard the saying “choose a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in  your life”? That’s good advise if you can find a job that you love, but don’t take it to mean make what you love into your job.

Just because you love doing something doesn’t mean you’ll love doing it as a job. If you like golf, you may not like competitive golf. If you like writing, you may not like the strict styles and deadlines of a journalist.

If you can turn doing what you love into a career and still love it, then congradulations, you’re one of the 1-3% of people in the world who will be truly happy with life. If not, don’t force it and ruin what you loved doing. Keep your career separate from your passion unless the combination makes you happy.
