There are two ways to look at working, the rational way and my way. In the rational way you decide what you like to do and do it no matter what else is happening in your world.

I have a friend who is a potter and sculpter. All he owned in the world was a piece of land and he busted his butt to buy that worthless piece of scrub pine and rock. He scoured construction sites hauling off construction debris and keeping anything that looked like it would be useful. At the end of ten years he had built himself a solar powered house and a wood fired kiln. He ain't rich but he's happy.

My way is a little different. In 1981 I was a part time employee with a pregnant wife and a dog. A full time job came my way and I took it. Over the years I've hated that job and then grown to like it. I will never love it. I am now within a decade of being able to retire. I've busted my butt and now I own a run down apartment house and i'm still working my butt off. I rationalize it by deciding the job pays for my music.

Either option is open to you but you'll work your butt off no matter what. Trust me on this one. You're better off doing something you like.
