Cool man, I’ll watch the vid in a bit. You’re right though, some folk are more than content to do any job, no matter how much they hate it. If I don’t like / want to do a particular job, there’s no way I’m gonna last in it man. Even if I’m being paid to do it, I’m not giving up my time for something I hate.
When I worked in a large public sector finance department I met people who genuinely wanted to be accountants when they were 16-18 and did just that. They weren’t bullshitting either and didn’t care that it wasn’t cool and were genuinely good at their jobs and enjoyed it.
What annoys me more is folk who get a chance and the time/energy/resources to do something that is supposed to be more enjoyable, and then are still miserable or don’t do it well (like poor quality party organisers and Deadmau5 etc…)
Interestingly Armin Van Buuren in 2004 completed the law degree that he had put on hold in the 1990s when his music career took off. Some sources claim he did this at Oxford University (he is certainly intelligent enough to get there and speaks English with a very posh accent)
