    The bullshit they tell you:
    “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.”

    Caveat
    That’s called unemployment.

      It’s not saying do the vocation you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. It’s saying focus on your hobbies and your family and the things that aren’t your job and your job will seem more like a means to an end.

      I know a guy who is an accountant, he’s a very good accountant, he fucking hates accounting, seriously fucking hates it, but it lets him and his spouse travel and do the things that they want to do so he does it anyway. Because it’s not about being an accountant it’s about the things that he’s able to do with the money.

      Me: hey you

      Me: uh yes?

      Me: here, have $10

      Me: thanks

      Me: fuck me he was supposed to decline gracefully, now I have no money for lunch

      Me: woohoo we are eating fancy inside the McDonald’s today, no trash-can scraps for me!
