Listen, this may be a controversial opinion here, but, money is power. Money can buy happiness. There has not existed a single depressed rich man whose sadness can be cured by losing his money. If you are in your 20’s, make money. Seriously. Yes, I know you want to party and live the life- but once you’re in 30’s, you will have family to take care of, and 40’s, you’re too invested in one skill to change profession out of security.

Lots of times, on r/jobs, I see post about “hey I’m making 200k a year as a butterfly flyer, but my true passion lies in paper clip literacy and have offer for 200 bucks and 2 paper clips per year: really hard choice, which should I choose?” again, yeah, I can heard your gasps “but you are supposed to follow dream! If you don’t enjoy work, don’t do it! Is a 15% raise really worth another year of company that dares to give single plyer TP?”

I don’t subscribe to this notion. If your passion is English major but have a job in dentistry- you’re NOT MAKING A GOOD FINANCIAL DECISION BY CHANGING. Sometimes good decisions does not make us feel “good” inherently.

I mean if you work is literally a danger to you, physically and mentally, yes, you can change. But my point is mainly really about people that “chase” their dreams. Way too many people that had 2.9 GPA applying for med school and wondering why they haven’t matched in 3 years with 300k debt in account. Do what you can in your own power lane, but also think more critically about how much sacrifice you’re willing to make to have the security deposit early in life when you have less need for it so you have much more choices later.
