Go with your passion and the money will follow, maybe not immediately, but it pays off in the end for hardworking, focused individuals with a passion.

Easier to say, than do, yes. Maybe a transition is what you need. Maybe you can find a segway to what you really want to do (writing articles, I can’t think of anything right now). I understand your passion and need to pay bills, and all the mean while, not wanting to take on debt.

When I had little knowledge of my area of expertise I was looking to get into, I still started my own business, which allowed me to go as fast or as slow as I wanted. My hobby/business was on the side of my real 9-5. After 12 months I was making some money. After 26 months I was making a living wage, still on the 9-5 as well. Almost three years later, I quite my 9-5 for a full time investment in my Inc.

Just my experience.

Awesome post and excellent reminder. Thank you.

I decided that I'm going to continue my two passions: grad school for library science, and writing and making movies.

One of them has to pay off at some point, right? :smt026
