Problems with Passion - From Study Hacks

Cal Newport - author of Study Hacks has a very interesting take on Passionate Jobs

Money quote

(+)Passion is generated by extended exposure to something that becomes an important part of your life. It’s not some magic score assigned to each job that describes, with great accuracy, how happy you’ll immediately become if you follow that path. (In reality, it’s really just a fancy word for general occupational fulfillment.)
(+)As a recent graduate, you have not yet been exposed to any job long enough for you to know what might fit well with you and lead, down the road, to the type of general fulfillment people dub passion.

Thought provoking for sure ain't it!!
