" "Find A Job/Career You Love" -- Unrealistic Advice?"


  

          

you're tasked with advising a young person. do you tell them that they should look to do something they love? is that realistic? to love what you do?

or are you more likely to point them in the direction of something that they don't hate. something they can reasonably tolerate that offers the money and security they need.

is it realistic to tell kids they are settling for any job they don't absolutely love? or is settling for suckers?
