I don't know, is it? This is what i observe in my surroundings but i also have friends that really did pursue a genuine interest. Trying to make a living with something they really want to do. But they are a minority..

Well said. A lot of people probably don't even know what they want to do but only what they have to do. I have people around me without any real interest (that they know of) because their life revolves around their work and careers.
