Of course, sometimes it can be both, and then it's all good. However, most of the time people face the choice - to choose a career path that's more likely to be profitable, or to follow their dreams?
When I was graduating high school two years ago, I had only the faint idea about what I want to study - I knew I wanted to study something related to foreign languages. I was reading lots of articles about what kind of career to choose - they were mostly suggesting Maths/Science/IT related fields. But I was never interested in Maths or Physics. People were trying to scare me by saying that anything other than Science is going to be a tough road. But I took it anyway. Because that's what I wanted.
Two years later I'm not much closer to knowing whether I made a right choice. But I know that studying would be harder and less enjoyable if I decided to study something I'm not interested in. So far I'm happy. But I know it might be hard for me after I graduate college.
What did you do, or what are you going to do? Follow your heart, or be rational and choose a nice, stable and most likely profitable career path?
