Adapted from workawesome.com The importance of doing what you love When I was growing up, all I wanted to be was an artist When I got to high school and could choose what classes to take, I took every art class that was available. Painting, drawing, photography, you name it-I took the class. Then I took a chemistry class. I LOVED it. It was fun! And I was good at it. I started thinking: wouldn't I make more money if I went into the sciences instead of being a starving artist? So I threw away the art school applications and went to study chemistry, College was fun, and when I graduated with my chemistry degree, I went to graduate school in Washington DC to do a PhD program in chemistry! It was OK to start with, but after the first year, I was completely depressed. I hated the program. It was dry and boring. But I didn't know what to do about it. So I quit. I spent the next month feeling bad about my failure, unsure what to do next. Finally, I went to a work agency to get a job. Something-anything that would pay money. I got a temporary job filling envelopes at an NGO. One day they needed some graphic design and I volunteered. This was the major turning point in my career. Over the next few months, they gave me more and more design work. What began as a temporary post turned into a permanent job. I was finally doing something I loved and I was making money doing it. it's been difficult at times, but I really love my job. Believe me, it is FAR more important that you are happy and get to do what you are passionate about every day and get paid less for it, than to dread getting up in the morning because you dislike what you do.
