We often choose our "career path" based on what we think will earn us something rather than spend time exploring to find out what we could fall in love with.
To some extent I followed my passion on my career choice. Tbh I'll easily give it up for a $200,000 and above career paying job
I think that if you lived it a while doing something you didn't like for the money, you might start feeling empty and seeking for something else. The money might give you that opportunity, but the trap is that once in, one needs more money before leaving.
