Recommendation

Has anyone ever encouraged you to follow your passion? This could be the worst career advice you ever receive, says television host Mike Rowe – and he should know: Rowe squandered several years in futile pursuit of an impossible dream. Nowadays, his TV shows spotlight individuals who made their success in unlikely or unusual ways. getAbstract recommends Rowe’s blunt advice to all dreamers whose delusions endanger their careers.

Take-Aways

  • “Follow your passion” may be the worst career tip you ever receive.
  • When choosing a hobby, pursue your heart’s desire. But when embarking on a career path, exercise caution. Recognize that enthusiasm doesn’t equate to excellence.
  • Holding out for a dream job can impede you from discovering work you love or from learning to love the job you have.
