You can do this but you better like what you are doing.

I wouldn't call my job a passion, but its pretty high up there and I LIKE it. If I didn't I wouldn't be as good as I am at it.

For me the key was finding something I liked to do that I could also do well financially in.

I really love astronomy, archeology and paleontology, but they don't put a lot of bread on the table. I went safe with dentistry and then orthodontics. Its not a super passion for me, I don't live and die teeth, but I like what I do enough that I don't get up wishing I was anywhere else besides working.

As someone else said, whatever you decide aim high, you will always regret it if you shoot lower then your potential.
