[quote=“Joe,post:4,topic:34229"”]

combination of what i like, what i’m good at, and what i can make enough money in to live my desired lifestyle. Lack of any one of them ruins it.

I work to live not live to work. I enjoy my job and could never see myself doing something 40 hours a week that I hate but I look forward to Sat/Sun a lot more than Mon-Fri. But my job pays very well, I’m good at it, and it allows me to afford the things I really enjoy when I’m not working.
