Hi, I'm 37. I don't quite get it either. I think most "successful" people either like, had some amount of pressure or good influence from parents plus perhaps support/money, and some just have a thing they know they want to do so they do that. I had neither of those, so I faked my way through college, got into art stuff and culinary stuff after that, and one random day I sat down and decided it was time to be an accountant, so I went back to school. If you don't have a passion or thing you want to pursue yet, that's cool, just like, work and make money. But here's the trick. Do you ever look at your friends with fun passion jobs or careers, and you're jealous? And you look at people with "boring" jobs like bankers or something and go "well at least I'm not that guy"? Guess what, even "cool jobs" do boring shit all day long. Go do something boring. That was my logic.
