Some goons overreact. Go figure.

Overall, I'm conflicted about what I want in a big way. Right now it's money far above anything else (understandably), but I know that if I do something I love, the money will follow.


I usually just lurk in BFC, but I just wanted to chime in and say that this is in no way guaranteed, and that the concepts of "a job you love" and "money" are often mutually exclusive. This is not to say they always are, but many people have jobs that they feel, at best, lukewarm about because they know it's necessary in order to make a decent living. It's not to say you'll be doomed to a lifetime of work you don't feel passionate about, just that for the time being, you have to make career decisions based on finances, which is not even slightly unique or something to be in any way ashamed of.
