Let me quote my reply to a similar question from yesterday:

> I think this is mostly bullshit, peddled by unique people like Steve Jobs or Elon Musk [1]. It does not apply to 99% of population. For regular people, job is a source of money, so that you can have a life. Of course you will have "a bad time" doing it - a job is literally trading effort and discomfort for money. The dream that, if you only find your passion, the work will be fun and not taxing or uncomfortable, is just that - a dream that you can escape the human condition.

> The most common sense advice is to find a job that you can tolerate (or even somewhat like on a good day) and that pays well. That's what our parents always say (at least the non-US parents) and it's not because they're stupid - I think it's hard-won wisdom that comes with age.

> [1] Unique in the way that they are hardcore workaholics and work is almost everything for them. Most regular people are very far from that.
