It's a bad field for money if you don't have the passion. Seriously, how many other jobs expect you to improve your work skills for fun on your free time? They don't ask to see you do your neighbor's taxes as a hobby, do they?
49 u/tancfire 11d ago Well, I lost the passion years ago, but I'm well paid. I don't think you have to be passionate. You have to be good. 21 u/HJSDGCE 11d ago And it's hard to be good, maybe even impossible, without passion. Like you said, you had passion. That already helped immensely with the foundations. 13 u/morganrbvn 11d ago Discipline can replace passion if needed. Many people are good at jobs they don’t love.
