I think we are trained from a young age to choose a profession that has meaning, yet pays the bills and more. Some of us will choose a job that we truly enjoy, but will have to sacrifice by picking up side jobs. Is it better work a job you hate that pays well or do something you love that pays less? I have some friends that will answer that question with a , yes. They then take more of an active role in developing their hobbies to compensate for the job they hate.
