Just do something you dont hate, or at least find elements of it that are interesting and enjoyable, but if you bring love into the equation you can be sucked into the black-hole vortex of sinking too much time and effort into it.

Learn as much as you can as quickly as possible?

Absolutely. That is a great piece of advice.

When you're young you have the drive and energy to hustle. Leverage that and do it hard because that experience will pay huge dividends later and you will appreciate that work later on in your career when you no longer have the energy to hustle but have the experience where you dont have to.
How about the author and painters, whose passions or love, creates great works of art, or the teacher that goes the extra mile and experiences the breakthroughs in her students, or the geologist that sees that black stuff come out the flare line.
