"Do what you love, and you'll never have to work again"

Some act like this is a joke, saying: "Yea right, you still need a job to survive." Yes, you do need income to buy food and shelter. But the income doesn't even need to come from a job, and it certainly doesn't have to come from tasks you dislike.

If you hate your job, you are probably in the wrong career or working in the wrong field. If you really hate your job, people close to you know, and it affects them.



My husband loves his job, as a freelance programmer, like most of you out there. He loves it even more when there's no money involved. He can't be bothered marketing the projects he loves spending time on. He's in the right career, all right, but is he making a living?
