Follow your bliss works when there's a lucrative direction to take that thing. If you're lucky enough to have a path there, then that's great. When there isn't, you want to look at what would address your personal values that also has real world demand.
I think the obvious thing is don't go for something where you'll end up just living for the weekends.
If work entails dissociating while just doing the bare x and o's with no spirit or personal investment in it then you'll end up a remorseful husk, even if you do ok financially. And yeah, there will always be tedious things we have to endure. But if there's a purpose behind it that feels worthwhile to you, then you become ok with enduring them. There will be some suffering no matter what, so you want that suffering to have meaning.
I agree with the sentiment that it's good to do something that gives you something back. Even if that's not addressing your passion, maybe it's just satisfying another thing you like, such as a problem solved or things organized, or connecting with clients.
