Some people may think they should pursue a certain career because they are so passionate about it, but then realize that they get burned out and it’s no longer fun to them once it’s their career. In that case, a hobby should remain a hobby. But sometimes people do just fine when making a beloved hobby into a career. It oftentimes may take trial and error, but in the end it has to be a mix of both enjoying what you do and being able to enjoy it when it becomes such a large part of your life. Some hobbies are too much to handle or just not the same when made into a job.
And yes, nobody knows what you want as much as you do, so listening to what others have to say will only get you so far, and possibly in the wrong direction. It’s your life, so nobody else should be “steering” the way but YOU!!
