right. I mean, getting a new job has always seemed easy for me? but I don't think that disproves anything you say. (Another big part of why I think finding a new job is easy is 'cause I kinda like interviewing, and can do it a lot before it starts feeling hard.) but I'm just saying that passion, at least as I define passion, seems to be more of a career hindrance than a career help; I know several people who are fairly technically competent who are un/underemployed because they have a lot of passion and can't stand to see their work being used except in exactly the way they think is best, and that attitude really only works if the power imbalance is hugely in your favor or if you can do the whole project yourself.
