But my advice, do the passionate thing still as long as you have a back up plan if that fails. Then at least you can say you didn't try for it.
For real. I hate that most people going into college nowadays are playing it safe. And the least safest thing is what they're passionate about.
I met a freshman whose college plan was to become an accountant for the IRS. Really. I responded with, "when did you decide to grow up to be boring?"
I know it's harder to get jobs nowadays, especially with the amount of people getting degrees and the job market being flooded, but I think the American Dream of two kids and a house in the suburbs is scaring people from pursuing what they love.
All I know is that I always pursued what I loved with a passion and a hustle and I'm doing fine. Lots of room for growth and more pay. Can't imagine a life not doing what I'm currently doing. I'm happy knowing that I'm doing something what I love and that I'm always stoked to go to work.
Anyways, my two cents. I'll shut up now.
