In our lifetime apparently we will work around 90,000 hours. That is a lot of time to spend doing something you are not passionate about.
When I was researching this article I read something that said:
“Would you do this for free? If so you’re on the right track”
Now I am not sure there are many people that would do much for free but I think you get the point. I started thinking about what other peoples dream job would be. I searched the globe doing my research (well I googled, but it is the World Wide Web).
