I believe the trick is to find a job that you find at least engaging and interesting. I write code for a living, not because I just LOVE coding but because I find it holds my attention and keeps my mind active and engaged, like a sudoku puzzle. I'm not passionate about sudoku, but if someone wanted to pay me a healthy wage to solve puzzles all day, I would take it! Making your passion your job just means that your passion gets ruined by deadlines and lack of choice.
Being an EMS helicopter pilot is basically a cheat code.
You get to spend your working hours doing basically whatever you want. Nap. Play board games. Watch TV. Work out. Whatever. Sometimes your time is interrupted with work. And when that happens, you get to fly a fucking helicopter. You’re also paid very well. And your weekday to weekend ration is 1:1. You only work half the year. Best job in the world.

If I didn't have to work, I'd spend my free time volunteering at animal shelters.
