s the title says, can you make a good living from doing something you love or has that time passed long ago?

of course. doing something we love is fun, so we will think that our job is having fun, no load on our shoulders.

but now I think I'm not doing what I love, I just do what I need to do, probably something I like, but not something I love.

if you have a proffesion which you love , you are the luckiest person of the world. everybody must do things that they can easily die for. nobody deserve doing someting that they hate for a living for sure.

Sure you can. Why has that time passed long ago? Making a good living has never been an easy challenge. I think if your work is something that you love - you've already made a good living, no matter how much you earn.

What about people who doesn't have one?

Of course you can, and many people do it every day. It certainly helps if you're passionate about heating systems or vinyl flooring. If you just want to play music, man, you might well be in for a rougher ride.

Almost always, I'm only doing what I like to do. But it so happens that even the most interesting occupation, bored. So you need to avoid. Set as the weekend. You can go anywhere. When the brain is resting, you can again start favorite work.

Only a very small percentage of people are lucky enough to make a living from something they're truly passionate about. I use the word "lucky" because double standards exist everywhere you go in one form or another and definitions and laws are not nearly accurate enough to protect the truly meritorious. So in the end it doesn't really matter how good you are, if Bob's uncle wants to give Bob the job, you and your degrees can go screw yourselves  :D

You are all too confusing. If there is no urgent need for money. You can always choose a job that you like. No one and no one now does not force to do the dirty work. Everyone chooses his own earnings.

As I could see right now, it's possible but the only thing that you'll likely to reach is a mediocre success and never a huge one. There are tons of people on Youtube that are 10x better than the people that you could hear on radio. The most famous ones are the only one who gets huge success of making money out of doing their passion. That's just how the world works today. Because of this harsh truth, some passionate people just look for something that they could learn and use it to get a minimum wage from a day job.

Yes if you want to work but like not work, choose a job that you like so that you are more passionate when to do it. LOL  ;D ;D ;D

That would be lovely if I could do that. however, times these days you would really have limited choices as to whether pursuing something you really want to do, or settling with something that would be able to support you. Some people are fortunate enough to have both at the same time but not all people are that blessed

Most times what you are passionate about falls under "hobby" not "work".

For me work is something you do to survive, you can spice up your method of working a bit to elicit some passion from you so it wont be so boring.

Make your passion your profession is ideal and there are only lucky few who were able to do what they really wanted to do. For me, I am doing what I am supposed to do and not because I like doing it but because I need to do it. It's hard when there's responsibility in your shoulders and its between choosing what you wanted to do which is your passion and what you need to do because it's what's needed at the moment. I can work of my passion but its not possible in the mean time but I'm determined to do what I like/love because for that moment that I'll do it, I will never work for a day in my life as what they say.

i do agree with you. when you doing something you love, It will never a stress come to you. and you can more focus and you have high quality result from your work.


And for this era, there is just few lucky people. Today, people will do anything to survive. And there are many stress come to them, and they don't have a big chance to do what they love. Just work under stress like a salve.
But it will not suite to idealist people. Idealist people will do a right thing in their mind. They are not ambitious to reach the successful career.

you are right. ;D


nowadays people work for needs, you love to be a painter not have a job, you will not sit around, waiting for a paint job falling from the sky, You should get another job.

I work for several companies at the same time. Actually I have to do it. Not because of the fact that I'm bored. And in order to survive. I am doing a job that I do not like. Although it does not suit me

You need a "value proposition".  As long as someone or some organization is willing to pay for this "value" you can make money.

No. I cannot work smart and hard without passion in it. I always think I love what I am doing so that no matter how hard it is, I will find time to enjoy it. A person who applies passion in her work means they know their purpose in getting things done in a way they will be surely happy with the results. Just the saying goes if you love your work your work will also love you back the way you did.

I love my work only when it will bring me enough money and take a little time.

Yep! Passion is the most important thing in work because you need to love your work to excel. And when you excell you will gained more money without thinking the time that is passing by becuase of the fun that is giving to us by our work.

Totally agree with you. If you don't like it you won't be able to work well and therefore will not be able to earn money. Unfortunately it is not always possible to find a job.

Well, that amazing talk gives me another point of view, I take the best advice at the end of this video.


I'm passionate about computers, that's why I'm currently studying computer science but, thats not everything, i'm doing others things just in case to no be successful at that.
