This is exactly how I feel every time I read someone say "screw money, do what you love". How fortunate we live in a time where "do what you love" isn't a nonsensical statement! Invariably that statement comes from those who just happen to be passionate about a field that is lucrative at the moment. When the art major who busses tables to make ends meet years after graduation can say that, then I'll give it some weight.
The idea that somehow making a living from anything less than your "passion" is doing it wrong is just ridiculous. Sometimes your passion for basketweaving isn't what's going to put food on your family's table. Maybe you don't have a passion for engineering, but if you're capable at it, maybe you should consider that rather than living a life of passion out of your car.
