I never want to do a job that I didn't like it, just for earning some money.
Some times I was forced to do such jobs, but I quit after short period. I felt trapped in a cage and the rebel inside me always pushed me out all the time.
Then I found my vocation in IT and finances. Knowing these well, I was able to be the bridge between grumpy IT guys, writing code and building hardware and the squareheads from the finance department that never want to change anything in their routine.
Understanding each side vision, I was able to build solutions that put them both to work together and create wonderful solutions.
That gave me more satisfaction in my work and I enjoy it, being an IT consultant for many years.
If you like something to do, then do it with passion and love.
Don't listen to your parents saying "you will be an engineer like me..." if you heart is telling you to be an artist. Fuck'em'all do what you like. Otherwise is not work, is just prison, slavery.
And now I dedicate my life to Bitcoin. I write guides, test solutions and help noobs, with all my heart and passion for Bitcoin. I do nothing else (except my citadel).
People will call me crazy, lunatic, psychopath, toxic or whatever. I don't fucking care! I will continue my work with Bitcoin until I will die. I will be toxic until there will not remain any shitcoiner in this fucked up world. Nobody can take this passion for Bitcoin from me.
I envy you! You sound like the third bricklayer in this parable:
The parable comes from Christopher Wren rebuilding St. Paul’s cathedral. He came to the site one day and saw three bricklayers. He asked them what they were doing and all three gave very different responses. The first said, “I’m laying bricks.” The second said, “I’m building a wall.” The third said, “I’m building a cathedral.”
I like teaching enough, but I think the problem with me is that I jump from one interest to another without ever settling. I need to find my obsession, like what @Car recently shared about his friend with me
Good that you are doing God’s work
