Career Help and Advice

I work in accounting and I don't think I've ever met someone who was passionate about it. Even so, most find satisfaction in doing their job well and taking care of the financial matters of their company or client. When I had to have my gall bladder removed, my surgeon did NOTHING but gall bladder surgery. Her passion was competing in triathlons. Do I want my gynecologist to be "passionate" about doing my pelvic exam? No. I want them to be competent and thorough.

Some fields like the arts, require passion but everyone can't make a living in creative pursuits. In fact, the most talented artists aren't always the ones who are able to make a living at it. I think it's important to have passion about something, but I don't think it has to be your job.
