Doing what you love is important.
But make sure it pays.
I mean, I'd love to teach kids, but getting paid 30k a year? NO THANKS! It's important to educate and be there for kids, but I'd rather volunteer when I can.
I'd rather work for the industry and make 3-4 times as much.
Money isn't everything, but believe me, making more makes life a lot easier and better.
