It is just a job... this is a crucial point. My aunt used to be a passionate dancer and the passion turned into her job. The story looks like a dream come true from the outside and the reason I spoke to her is the reason why I am ok with where I am right now. She has been living this "dream" for about 10 years by now and recently she confessed that she lost the passion only 2 years after she turned i into a job. This is a natural cycle I believe. People change, hobbies and passions change. Now I am passionate about football and my new project (the one I am secretly doing while being paid at work) is about football. I am passionate about it, but already know this is just a period of my life.
I (man, 26) always wanted to do a manual job, but my parents pushed me into the IT. Now 2 years after graduation I am sitting on my ass and dealing with databases. I hate it so much, but guess what. I make 60k per year. I see the point of my parents. My schoolmates earn less than 20k and struggle a lot. The good paid job gives me an access to the "higher class". Besides that, compared to my schoolmates from the good old days I see options that only IT can give you. Already starting a new project, so guess what. I will probably do the same to my kids.
