Working on what you love may be the most dangerous trap i have ever been told.

Why? You may work on what you love, but for a person that you don't. This will be the most thing that you will encounter on your career. I have been programming since i was 11 and my passion was sucked by my jobs.

And that's why all of my other hobbies will ever become a job, no matter how much people think i am good at it, the only reason i am good at my hobbies is because i don't do it for a living.

You can work on what you love, but don't expect expressing yourself at your job.

There is the Entrepreneurship route, where, instead of sucking your own passion, you should be sucking your employees passion, if you are doing it right.

    This. I've seen my passion for programming being sucked first by university and then by work.

    I wanted to write this, because so many of my friends from different careers are getting through the same thing. this seems to be way more common than i expected.

    If you are feeling like this, i just wanted to tell that you are not alone, and it is fine to feel that way.
