Do something you're good at and that provides a living. Leave the 'stuff you love' for a hobby.
I cannot tell you how many mechanics became that because they loved working on cars. You know how many tool on their own project cars after work?
A very small number.

This is silly.
Is your advice essentially to do something you hate for a living?
While I’ll admit this is anecdotal I know a lot of mechanics who enjoy working on their own projects outside of work. If you know many who don’t maybe it’s because they got to enjoy working on vehicles all day and want to do something else they enjoy outside of work.
I agree that people need to consider what careers will pay the bills, but if you can have a well paying job that you also enjoy and find fulfilling you’d be crazy not to do that.
