Do What You Love!

If you love something, do it! I have been told this hundreds of times, contrastingly I have also been told be sure it makes you money! Today in one of my classes we (being the students) where told (WARNING! about to paraphrase very badly) "If you just want a job, leave! If your in this for money, be a welder, an accountant or plumber! We need those people! If you want to come home every night leave! If you do not have fun doing this get out! If you are passionate about Theatre and love it stay." (P.S. I'm Studying Theatre (Yes the RE is necessary.)) That made me think, (okay a lot of things make me think) why would someone begin to do something that they're not passionate about? I had to take a look back at myself. A few years ago I entered college thinking "Great! I know what I'm going for and I'll never change it! I'll make a lot of money, help  support my family and continue with this for the rest of my life!" I hated what I was going for, but I knew others in the program who where downright passionate about what they were studying, I wasn't the worst, but still I couldn't be my best, because I did not love what I was doing. I was declared in a different major by my second semester... Do what you love, if you are passionate about it the money part may come, not overnight but through years of hard work and training. The scientists did not reach the moon in a day! They failed and learned from those failures and kept on doing what they loved and when they reached their goal, they made new ones! I have nothing left to say, just do what you love!
