Ok. I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I do not equate "fun" with being passionate about your work/career path.
Fun is what you do for entertainment or for kicks. IMO that has nothing to do with a career.
If your most pressing need is to buy a house and secure retirement then I agree... find the highest paying job you can within your skill set and education and to hell with feeling passionate about your work. My H is like that and I guess some people simply are. He is very good at his job but he doesn't love it or really even like it but he does make 6 figures and has for some time. But, he would shovel poo for 7 figures no matter how much he hated it as the paycheck is what he is after. Different strokes for different folks!
Funny thing is my H isn't all that happy of a person despite the large payout he gets twice per month.
