I would definitely reiterate what has been said about keeping your career and your hobbies separate and about your priorities changing as you get older.

I grew up wanting nothing more then to fly fast jets. And by all means I accomplished all my goals relating to flying cool jets. You always hear young guys who are first starting out say they would pay to fly cool airplanes. Now at 40ish flying is just a really good paying job with a great office window. It’s still a great job but it is just a job. I only do it cause they give me money.

Money let’s me accomplish what I want on my off time. My advice. Find a career you can stand that pays you really well so you can really enjoy your hobbies in your off time. Plus when your goals and desires inevitably change money affords you opportunity. And Opportunity is the greatest gift you can give yourself (or your loved ones).
