Of course, that's completely true - and all the more reason to follow your love and passion if you happen to be privileged by luck of birth, family, and genetics. I think that this is true of many HN readers and certainly describes me. I'm incredibly grateful for being born into that lucky circumstance.

And I don't mean to put down people who can't do that because they have to figure out how to stay alive in a war torn country, or figure out how to keep your family from starving.

Thanks for your excellent point.
