I understand where this is coming from and yes many people are hung up on passion but there are a lot of people breaking their backs out there with no interest in what they are pursuing. It's not that complex, just weigh the pros and cons of your options and pick something that's inline with your goals and commitments.

Trade financial stability now for passions later is my take on this post, this resonates with me strongly as I'm at this very crossroads (and im a millennial) and leaning towards financial stability to provide foundation on which to find my passion. I always found it hard to "explore" what I wanted to do because time was always limited by how much money I had and I never had a lot.

As someone who makes a great salary on doing what I love to do, I don't think it's all bullshit. Following your passion doesn't have to mean that you want to be a rock star. It's ridiculous to think that you can't find something you're passionate about in your work.
