Easily said. Not easily acheived.

The key is to strike a balance between doing what you like, and making a living for the duration of your working lifetime. Everyone's scale is different. Some value money and lifestyle, even at the price of doing work you don't "love". In our competitive society, I think the kids being raised with the liberal addage "do what makes you happy" are in for a difficult lesson (potentially). My wife and I often disagree on this point as it pertains to our own kids.

Find your "balance". That's the key. And no, it's not easily acheived either.
