Going after what you love is really important. If you can manage to figure out what you love doing, and you start doing that, then you will be set for life.

But that leads to another question:

Do you WANT to be doing that all your life?

When I graduated university, I wanted to do nothing else but work at a gaming company. Lo and behold, I actually managed to do that. But after about a year I started feeling like I wasn’t working on something “important” enough. I felt the need to move on because althogh I loved the work I did, it left me feeling vaguely hollow.

I did find that working on something more “important” (even if it’s just a little more important), helped me feel more content about what I’m doing.

Of course, money is always an issue too, and I have a hard time settling for something when I know I could be making more elsewhere.

So what was my point? Sometimes doing what you want to do will show you that you don’t really want to be doing it. AND: Money affect everything.
