Practicality v Passion
We’re often presented with a choice:
Practical career → money, security, status, but potentially boring.
Passionate career → meaningful, exciting, but potentially financially precarious.
The underlying message is: you can have one, but not both. But this is based on a number of assumptions that deserve examination.
My central thesis is that practicality and passion aren't actually opposites.
