    I agree with what you’re saying. You gotta work even when you don’t feel like it. Being passionate makes it easier to work (in some cases).

      Most of us have many different parts of the job, and like certain parts more than others.

      A doctor may be passionate about actually solving medical issues but might hate communicating with difficult patients, dealing with paperwork and recordkeeping software, dealing with insurance companies, marketing his practice, managing staff, etc.

      Programmers may actually love coding but hate dealing with customer requirements, or the office politics of sales versus delivery, or even the way their team is run.

      It’s like that everywhere. If anyone is only able to do work they’re passionate about, that person is gonna have a rough career.
