A major issues with "follow your dream" is the flawed notion that it's even possible to end up with a job that you love every aspect of. What does follow your dreams even mean? How are you supposed to know if you will like a career, if you've never worked in it?
A much more realistic path would be to try to get experience in a variety of fields at an early age. Then choose a path that fulfills you in some way enough that that you can live with the negatives of that career path.
I would also state that we need a massive overhaul of the post-secondary system. With a major shift towards training for actual jobs that the economy requries.
