The worst advice you can give a young person is follow your passion. Passion isn't a plan. It's how most people end up broke and burned out. It doesn't mean you shouldn't bring passion to your day to day activities. But you've got to know what you're getting into when you're starting to monetize a passion.

Fulfillment comes when passion meets purpose and when purpose meets a paycheck.
