I recently posted an article on my Facebook (http://qz.com/698943/whatever-you-do-dont-quit-your-job-to-pursue-your-passion/) that countered this narrative. Here, I’m going to clarify my position and tell you why I think the better piece of advice is to find happiness in service, whether you pursue your passion full-time or not.
