Yep, 100 percent this. I had to take several jobs recently that were not my passion but paid the bills. Of course, I also failed in those jobs because of that reason, but think I have finally found one that matches my interests and passions and comes with a nice pay bump to boot. I have a very hard time motivating myself to even get out of bed in the morning if the work I am paid to do during the day is not interesting.
