It's what turns finding an ideal career into a never ending game of Yahtzee where I'm rolling for the perfect combination of security, monetary compensation and creative freedom. I'm probably looking at it all wrong, though.
Maybe there's more to "Doing what you love and letting the rest follow" than its flashy font on memes all over Instagram would suggest.
Maybe passion should be my driving for force in the search for the right job.
Afterall, nobody promises Andy Truett a certain number of closed homes in a month, or Pablo Magdaleno a fixed number of brokered insurance policies, yet these two are extremely successful individuals that are lauded for their passion in the workplace - Andy, the past two years with Best Realtor in El Paso, and Pablo with several New York Life accolades. Another thing they both have in common: exceptionally sized salaries.
Really, it's the perfect litmus test for job satisfaction. Without passion, there's no way to maintain an exemplary level of performance that promotes both fiscal and personal growth, and who isn't satisfied when both you and your wallet are growing.
I'm near the end of the line on this act and it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Graduation is right around the corner, I have my Realtor's license, and this blog has opened my mind up to the possibility of writing for a living.
Whatever my family and I decide on, it will be in favor of passion.
