I believed the "If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life.". I loved to build website and make it my job. I regret that decision every day for the past 6 years. The software industry in my country is a big pile of legacy trash that is making money. It's painful to never find a place where you enjoy what you are doing.

Now I tell people to NOT make passion or hobbies a job, it's a trap.

I think that's more common than not. You're doing things other people want you to do and pay you for, not what you find interesting. And you're not just doing them when you're inspired to do so but all the time whether you feel like it or not.

Well, I work a career I dislike for the financial security of it. I regret it every day.

Work sucks, as a rule, so why not at least do work you sometimes enjoy?

Because you end up not enjoying it anymore. You lose a passion, a hobby and you are unhappy
