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.
I am strictly speaking about your passion as your carreer. I fully believe everyone should persue their passion even if no one else in the world is even aware of it.

But what I've been trying to say, and feel like I'm going around in circles here for hours, is that society is wrong in making it so that we all have to follow the same path for our careers. I think that for people with things like bipolar there would be a much higher career success rate if there were alternate oportunities and alternate ways of going about having a job instead of the either the minimum wage no routine, the middle of the night no sleep, or the 8-5 grind.

I am now going to step out of this, because I just feel like I am talking in circles and not being listened to, but being told what I'm saying....
