The market doesn't care about your passion, it cares about whatever it wants. And what it wants might not be your passion. The key is to find a way to mix value, with something you enjoy.

@@selfishbirch that’s more or less what I mean. A job is an obligation. You must go to work in order to make a living. Passions are spontaneous and driven forward by interest and intrinsic drive. You can’t force them, they just flow from you. This is why deadlines and such only inhibit creative projects like film, books, art. Etc. Star Wars used to be a work of art, now it’s a franchise. Comedy is much the same. The art of comedy is to suprise the audience with the punchline. If you see the punchline coming then you don’t laugh. Once comedians get into the “night show” business, and they have to be funny on a regular basis, the quality of their work drops precipitously.

I'm what you would call a boomer, and back then, finding a job was a bit easier than it is today, so it was easier to let go and follow your passion. In today's world, it is definitely harder, as even a college degrees can't get you a secure well paid job, while a simple highschool diploma could get one in my youth. It was easier for me to follow my passion and become an artist leaving my job. But then again, life in general was easier for me back then, as I was a straight middle class white man. Advice I would give to this generation is to just work hard. Do something you like. Earn money. Maybe earn money while doing something you like, and just continue with whatever works. Just remember to enjoy your life. I'm very old right now, and I do have some regrets. Your job should never be your whole life- there are other things in life to enjoy, like your family, your dog, nature, paintings, comic books, friends, food- just live a happy life with no regrets. This is kind of off topic, but I just wanted to put that out there, as time goes by fast, and in the blink of an eye, you'll be an old person like me, retired, with grandchildren, watching videos on KZitem about confused youngsters. You'll find your way, I promise! Sincerely, Robert Edit: I see some people in the comments don't exactly care for my advice, and that's fine. Times are different. Don't get the idea that I didn't suffer or work hard, because I did. As an orphan, I had to go through quiet a lot of deaths than a child should, and while I'm not going to go into detail about it, I will say this - life is hard and unfair. Growing up, I would rather have been extremely poor and have my family back, than my middle class position where I could live comfortably. I know some who would wish the opposite. I know working hard can't get you everywhere, but smart and hard work is the only thing you can do. All I'm saying, is make sure to count your blessings. Because one day they'll be gone before you know it.

One of my first adult jobs (after dropping out of my first attempts at college) was working at a brew pub, first as a dishwasher, then as a cook. The work environment was toxic as hell. Most of my coworkers were bitter alcoholics and coke addicts. The management sold this 'happy small business family narrative' while sucking the literal life out of the people who worked there while they self medicated their lives into ruin. I eventually ended up walking on the job after a little over two years and taking up the life of a semi-homeless classical guitarist, revisited drawing, started reading philosophy in earnest. Eventually I went back to school and did studio art and philosophy, while playing dinner music gigs for smokes and coffee $$. After graduation my first job was... as a chef's assistant in a frat kitchen. The chef was a buddy of mine and everything was cool at first until they started getting more and more unhinged. They were one of those crisis cooks that motivate themselves by overshooting and instigating a crisis. I hung in with them for about a year and, after a bit of a power struggle, I put in my two weeks, and was back on the problem of figuring out what to do... which ended up being running a kitchen at a homeless shelter. I discovered that everything I had done before prepared me for that. I learned both how to hustle from the challenge of the previous kitchen jobs. Most importantly, I learned what I did not want in my kitchen: no wannabe Gordan Ramsey shit, no picking a kitchen scapegoat, no macho masochism, no lifestyle drinking and drugging (though I won't lie some of the crisis motivation rubbed off). My iterate musician days helped me relate to the homeless people, the ones I didn't already know from being a street person myself. The philosophy study helped me make sense of the truly bizarre situations that arose. The art study helped me invent meals for 100+ people out of donated randomness etc. Apologies for the Tl;Dr but yeah relatable. The stuff I hated did end up helping a lot down the road. I still think a lot about going the free spirit creative route, but I really love helping homeless people, which I now do as a social worker. Though my long term plan is to retire from that to be a full time artist/philosopher... eventually.

They do that because they have to sell their books or product to a generalised audience. Self help books advice is not for an individual who has their own unique level of strengths, knowledge, experience, available resources or limitations. This is why most self help books get read once and left on a bookshelf to gather dust. Much the same as KZitemrs with their 5 step (insert whatever you're interested or feel you're lacking) title. Maybe one or two things sound intriguing but if we can't adapt them to the things mentioned above, they take us on a path of yuck.

I don't know, I think it's a mix. Because your best interest isn't always in everyone elses minds and to give your best interest value to THEM is to stand up for it. They call it passion for a reason. To be honest, if you walk away from it as you all are describing like the OP, it probably wasn't passion to begin with. It makes its own value through sheer determination. You can be a cashier, but if painting is your PASSION, you're painting in your mind as youre standing at that register. Your friends and family would all have self-portraits. Your passion isnt about making money always, living isnt about surviving. People are so pathetic these days.

One thing i've been learning in my 20's is embrace one of the things I used to say was my biggest mistake: not trying to follow my dream career from the get go. I've dreamt of being a professional musician as a kid, however, my parents always told me "you have to have a plan B, that is just a hobby". Unfortunately, I always followed it, and I got a degree in something which wasn't particularly something I wanted to do. But, years are going by and I've noticed that I can have a stable life and do my passion the same way. My degree isn't anything special, but it's not a dead end job either. I can live fairly well, don't have kids or dependants, and fortunately I've been able to keep studying music anyway. All in all, what I made was, instead of feeling sad that I didn't do what I wanted from the get go, I tried to make the best of the opportunities I had, started working on something I don't really like as much as I like music, but it's something that I can do to keep buying materials I need to create music and to play, to pay my courses and still have a comfortable life, paying bills and somehow slowly progressing into being more successful. So no, giving up on a daily job to follow your dreams isn't the best advice you can have. I would say, work on your dreams anyway. Even if you don't like your job, at the end of the day you're still doing your dreams, either it's painting, or drawing, or travelling, and don't have to worry about how much money you have to make from your dream. Work on your dreams until you don't need a daily job to survive, if that's what you want. If you're in the middle of the sea, swim. You might not know where to swim, but at least swim to somewhere

The main issue I have with "Quit your job and follow your passion" is that if everyone followed along, society would collapse. We need people to do the mundane, everyday things that keep everything going. If everyone at once decided to follow the advice, we'd have a whole load of trainspotters and pretty much nobody working in waste management. We'd have tonnes of average tennis players and nobody to deliver goods. We'd have way more artists and musicians, and that would be cool as hell, but we'd have basically no plumbers. Its only because of the people who haven't quit their job to follow their passion, that people like you and me are afforded the societal breathing room to do what we love as a career. So I'm thankful for every single person who didn't follow this advice, and has found fulfilment and purpose in the tasks and responsibilities that we were too fragile and "creative" to do.

But the creative thinkers who steer away from those jobs are equally important to society. They push forward humanity, looking to the future, and help us grow and innovate. If all the creative thinkers stopped creating right now, innovations in technology, medicine, etc. would halt, and society wouldn't last. With that, I don't understand the importance of some artists in this sense. Like, how does an artist that draws original characters in different poses help push us forward? Maybe in some cases making art is a selfish endeavour?

Long story short, all of the “crappy” jobs I’ve done ever since have taught me more about myself and my potential than my time spent in therapy. I love to write and I do pursue that in my spare time, but if nothing comes of it monetarily, that’s just fine. I enjoy working with my hands in the manufacturing trades and get so much satisfaction from it that it never gets old. So my “job” existence is low risk while actually providing as much satisfaction, if not more, than my passion of writing does.

"Assuming a certain level of freedom, go all out in both directions so that you can learn your limits, then make a base level of income to meet your needs and the needs of your dependents, while using the rest of your time to pursue something that excites you. Ideally this something would be high risk and high reward, and you'd work in the direction of creating a life where you have the option to say no to things that drain you of energy. Reassess your limits and aims as you grow as a person." is my new favorite copy-pasta in response to "quit your job, and follow your passion."

You are absolutely right! A job/career does not have to be your whole life -- supporting yourself while doing what you love is how 99% of life works. Nor does any job/career promise immediate and sustained happiness -- you will have a long life and things change. You ALWAYS have to consider the good and the bad in all situations. It is only by living and experiencing much that you crave out a life -- whether it be good or bad is a matter learning what needs to be changed and how you are respond to that challenge.

Had a friend in the ‘90s who followed his bliss. Lost his job, wife, money.... OTOH in the ‘80s I quit a big money law job to manage bookstores and was very happy-til my car was 20 years old, my cat was 16, both needed constant repairs, and I was really really tired of ramen. Ended up in the ‘90s a professional proofreader who was writing a novel on the side. Never regretted leaving law, I hated it. Now I’m retired on a small Social Security check, but have been traveling Downunder for 3 1/2 years, where my US $ goes further, and finally finishing the dang novel. I’m happy which is what counts.

I have so much to say about this! I did this several years ago and it was a mistake. I was desperate to do something different. I was viltering away in an underpaid customer service job that didn't give me energy or enough money to focus on what I wanted to do. Around me I had people trying to figure things like me, naysayers, and people who said advice like this (but maybe had savings accounts because they were paid 6 figures, trust funds, rich partners etc.) I think the advice I would give people like me back then would be to find a less draining part-time job and to not feeling stressed about my business taking time to build. We are sold so many stories of quick success but slow and steady are more often the route to success. I think just quitting your job requires strong clarity of where you are going and what you are building (as well as privileges.), otherwise I would advise a slower & less risky route to start with.

that one wasn't from self help gurus, it was from the Corporate CEO's. You see this all over the millennial office environment. they will often have an ethos of "work should be fun" this tricks you into thinking you love what you do. This way you do it more and for less. work is work, fun is fun. don't ever conflate the two; this is a recipe for disaster. Even if you are you're own boss. creatives have a hard time pricing their work, because they love it and this leads them to do it for free or for way less than they should.

When I was in college I thought I would have a long and successful career and my own business before I settled down. Things change. Together we are building a family, and hopefully in a few years a home for our family! And we love every second of it.

It's my experience that in the sayings "Follow your bliss", "Follow your passion", most of us speed past the most important word in each of those adage - "Your" and rush on to the juicy bit.. Dream / Bliss / Passion. For simplicity's sake let's take Your to mean You. The Bliss / Passion meaningful to You. To answer the question, or to take the advice, you must define You. But which you? The you that gossips about your friend behind his/her back? Or the you that helps that same friend when they're truly really in the shit? The brave you? Or the chickenshit you? The kind you, or the selfish you? We've all been them all. The advantage of following your passion is that it's the fastest and most effective to leant about the complexity of what we call "Me", and what what fabulous, Olympic level self-delusion machines we all are. 😁 It's not for nothing that the Greek philosophers said "Know Thy Self." Live YOUR Dream. Just make sure you know who You is first... But don't worry, you'll learn along the way. Have a ball...Don't get lost in The Story..

Thanks mate, I've made this decision last year because my former job in IT wasn't the right place for me. It made me sick and I've lost all my creativity for weeks. I felt terrible. The only chance I had, after unsuccessfully seeking opportunities to stay in the company was going my own way. I retrained via distance studies and online classes to become a Multimedia-Design. I've ever since been passionate for movies and design. But now I'm struggling to find the right employer. My family doesn't believe that I'm gonna make it but I do Whatever It Takes to make this change in my life. As an introvert and empath, it's probably the most challenging time but I won't give up. There are so many people struggling the same way, we shouldn't ever give up on our dreams. Thanks for your videos, they give me some inspiration and even more motivation to continue walking this path.

I have always felt a little uneasy and uncomfortable with "quit your job, follow your passion" and I've also quit many jobs thinking that I would then follow my passions, but usually I would spiral into self doubt and depression, having ultimate freedom and no promised steady income would loom over me until I would start desperately seeking a new job. To this day I mistrust some of my aspirations while thinking every single day about how I'd like to move away from the city where I've lived all my life as soon as possible! I somehow believe that somewhere in my sometimes manic desires and dreams can be linked up to my drive, and if I strengthen and apply a interest level to these desires and my drive then maybe just maybe I will get /somewhere/ I guess I like to focus on the phrase "it's the journey, not the destination" and think to myself whatever happens, something will happen, and take a zen perspective to find a center within myself amidst all of my analyzing and seeking.

I loved this video :D After college, I pursued jobs that I would love, which sometimes required a sacrifice regarding commute and/or income. My philosophy was that even though I was just getting by financially, I still enjoyed going to work every day and found value in what I did. When I stopped enjoying going to work, or felt like I maxed out on my potential, I started seeking another job. I have other hobbies and projects that are very difficult to monetize, so flexibility while working was also the ultimate aspiration of mine. I knew the "quit your job and pursue your passion" wasn't really going to work for me, partially because I wasn't very interested in monetizing my hobbies/interests. After many years, I finally found the perfect balance. I do contract work I love that also allows me to work my own schedule, and in my free time I pursue my hobbies and side projects. I feel like sometimes I get judged for this arrangement for some reason, but I'm truly happy and financially secure, and I took a lot of risks to get there. Your long statement at the end is so true - you can have both a job and a passion, and they don't have to be mutually exclusive either. Thanks so much for making this video! :)

And it gives me enough financial freedom and time off to travel places, and not have to worry about the money, so why the heck would I introduce that kind of uncertainty in my life when my current one gives me a certainty of comfort and still doing things I always wanted to?"

This really helped me to be guided again in my purpose of resigning in my current work. Thank you so much.

The opposite of courage is conformity. If you keep this in mind it will steer you in the right direction.

This is awesome. The rephrasing really is everything-- and what a great change-up pivot in the video. I ell-oh-elled!

I really liked this video! I've noticed that a big portion of self-help culture out there is filled with toxic-positivity, unrealistic advice, packaged in inspirational quotes that don't really amount to anything. However, this was fun and quite straight to the point! Subbed

This is perfect. I always (at every job I've had) get asked the question by co-workers 'why don't you/don't you wanna pursue music full-time?' and what you're saying here is why. I love the security, community and intellectual challenge my day-job brings even though my passion is music.

Ironically this is probably the best discussion I've ever seen on this catchphrase. You should do management trainings :P

1. My job is one of my passions 2. I love the security and routine, I struggle without this 3. I follow other passions next to my job, I also make money with those 4. I love it!
