Why is everyone insisting on being passionate? Of all the career topics out there, the mandate for passion must surely win the prize for being one of the silliest and most tedious.
To me, if you're working at a job where your brain is reasonably engaged, that pays decently and induces nausea only 40% of the time, isn't that good enough?
Granted, my standards aren't high, but maybe that's because I'm over 25. Plus, I'm a believer in the unvarnished truth. Thankfully, though, I'm beginning to see some honest discourse around the topic of passion.
