Alma I think if you combine both then you have the best of both worlds passions and work... but if you cant which would you rather do?
I have heard that if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life and that would be awesome. Going to work with motivation like that. But if you cant and find your self needing to do something you are good at like painting houses when what you really want to do is sculpt then what would you choose?
