My brother knew a guy back in highschool who was of the genius kind. After graduating he went to become a pilot in command and succeeded being one of the best as the genius he was. He had a dream job and a dream pay yet he didn't like it so he searched for what he really wanted to do, deep down. He afterwards left his job and went to Scotland to herd sheeps. Never heard of him since, probably because he loves it and never came back.

You should do what you love, not what people want you to love.

Or be a willingful humble slave, the most wanted employee ever.
