    In the Name of Love

    Many people grow up hearing the advice that all you need to do in life is to "find your passion." The implication is if you "do what you love", success-and probably happiness and money-would follow. People like Apple's Steve Jobs and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg were long regarded examples of this trend. In fact,age group you are in, or education level you have reached, this idealized view of the working world is the modern-day equivalent of the emperor's new clothes myth.

    When you stick to the "do what you love" advice for your career, you immediately narrow your vision of what a career can be-and therefore, limit your ability  (satisfy) by your careers. You get the wrong idea thatyou are not doing the right job you are doing the job that you "love". There's a big chanceyou will miss out on some of the wisest potential career decisions available to you. What's more, you might be wasting your time chasing after a bachelor's degree only to take a job your degree is all but useless.

    Most people don't grow up,(want) to clean up after others or work in low-end(低端的) retail or fast food jobs. The reality is: we need bus drivers, cooks and doormen as much as we need engineers, web developers and data scientists. Even though machines may be taking some jobs away, there is a large number of jobs that are not going anywhere-and we depend on them every day.

    Stop putting too much pressure onin order to do what you love. Start with focusing on what skills you have, what you can learn, and you can translate them into a worthwhile job with upward mobility. Your love for what you do will come with the satisfaction of a job well done.
