Given that we choose opportunities aligned with our expertise and personal interest, the companies offering these opportunities should have clear ideas of what roles we can play within their organizations.

People can have passions for things that are obviously vital to society. However, it won’t always be easy to see. If we look closer, we can see that interests that don’t seem to matter can still be important and essential.

While it’s true that certain hobbies and interests will not help us pay the bills, we are interested in and passionate about a lot of different things. And some or even all of them can be leveraged into solid career choices.

It might take a few more compelling arguments for us to move on to the career concept of the future: that work can be fun, that those two things are not on different sides of reality, and that we can be successful while doing what we love.
