Question: Should I pursue a career that is more likely to make me reasonably well off financially or one that might make me happy?

    I suppose if the one that makes you happy provides enough so that you're not constantly dealing with making ends meet, it might be the better choice.. but hell if I know, I've had been very fortunate to get paid to do what I enjoy...

    As I pontificate more, it seems more likely that you'd do something you enjoy and end up making decent money at it (with careful compromises), than the alternative of learning to enjoy something you despise.
