While its nice to find passion in whatever you're doing, I think its also important to not romanticize the workforce. Its not completely realistic to love your job. No one really loves a job. Its a job. People can work in fields they find enjoyment in, sure, but don't set yourself up for disappointment if you come to find out that loving your job is a rarity. Even if someone really wanted to be a doctor and they enjoyed what they did, its a matter of time before it just starts becoming a job like everything else.

This realization helped me understand that I don't need to "love" my job, I just need to be good at it and find appreciation in whatever I do, regardless if its my dream job or not.
