Career Choices: Money Or Passion?

[maniaclara]

so far, i make money from something i at least haven't stopped enjoying...

[GandalanG]

Make money out of your passion..

[whois]

money..kapag naka ipon na, passion na..mas madali gumalaw when you have the money na

[madhunt3r]

passion. gusto ko, masaya ako sa ginagawa ko.

[AmBoyinManila]

both but well and strategically balanced with passion taking the edge on priority. reality is one cannot function well and long if one is not passionate about what one does. reality also dictates that passion can only feed your spirit...money will feed the rest

[orionquest]

money. your passion cannot feed you nor support your family needs. (not unless high paying ang passion mo)

[ndn]

Money. We need to be practical nowadays.

[Defiant]

But men, pursuing a Passion can be practical too. You just have to be creative and smart in your choices.

 

pursuing money isn't necessarily practical if you think about it too...

If you pursue money,

(1) one day you may wake up and realize that you hate your job, what it has made you, and even your life, then you quit, and attempt to start all over again from scratch at 40.

(2) you may burn-out or have a nervous breakdown and just don't know what to do with your life.

(3) you may dislike your job, and use alcohol, food, women, and other filth to compensate for hating your job, your life, which is much more unhealthy and much more a waste of your money.

 

money just has many cons as pursuing passion.

 

And there's always a way to turn something you love into something profitable. Being a starving f#&king artist or make art for the world is just plain stupid.

The task of choosing between money and passion is a difficult one, especially for those who study many long years to get their educational degrees.

 

Most people tend to go on with their supposedly money-making careers and choose high-paying jobs rather than going for a small-packaged passionate work. The point is, these people earn money, and money alone. Not a bad thing, if your crowning aim is to get rich. But money is no man's dream, may be a way to get their goals, but certainly not the prime goal of life.

 

Every human has responsibilities and duties towards society in which they exist. These duties often drags a human to the money-dreaming 'rat-race' and away from his pleasing passions. The notion that passion can be pursued only after bagging some substantial moolah, is as false as it gets. The thing is, the later you act on your passion, the lesser time you get to excel in it. There are always exceptions, but most average people fail and fall in their initial quest of money, fame and possessions.
