^ This is true, and the way I see it is that we work to live, not live to work. I see so many young people disillusioned and thinking that they can make their passions and their hobbies into their career. In today's world this is rarely possible unless you are incredibly lucky. I would have loved a career in art or music but after finishing my Arts degree I realised that there were no jobs in the field that would pay my bills. mr dave is pretty right in saying you pretty much just take what you can get...
BUT despite following a totally different career path to the dreams I had when I was younger, I've still managed to keep my passions (such as art and music) alive. They are still a huge part of my life and my biggest pastimes. So don't get too down about it. You can always hold onto the aspirations you had when you were young, in some way.
