[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s okay when they are young, but when they are older and don’t have the comforts of middle age (house, family, retirement income) they might become bitter and resentful. I think “passion” is oversold in this country. Work a day job and have your passion on the weekends. [/quote] But you'll never be as good as someone who dedicates themselves full-time to your passion. If you're okay with that, then the day job to pay the bills is the right way to go. In most cases, talent and passion take root at an early age (particularly in athletics), but there are those who are extremely successful as a "2nd Act". https://www.forbes.com/second-acts/#1fc4db454618[/quote]
