I'm sorry you see it that way. I hope one day you can prove yourself wrong. Many others have, maybe you will too.
I think too many people tie passion and career together. There's a box outside of that, where you really do make your own odds.
It's definitely harder now than 30 years ago to do whatever you want, but I definitely do believe that if you really go for it, you can achieve it. That's how men like Richard Branson, Michael Dell, Ted Rogers, etc got to where they are today. It goes beyond hard work and running the distance, but it's attainable.
