"Advice: Can you work on something that you actually believe in?"

You absolutely can. I fell into a great gig by accident. But it's a bad idea to put all your eggs in one basket. Companies get bought, cultures change, priorities shift and if you can't detach yourself from work or find another outlet you'll be frustrated. Balance is key and I'd say a fulfilling personal life is healthier thing to aspire towards.
