“Never follow your passion,” says Mike Rowe. “But always bring it with you.”
Rowe, the host of the series “Dirty Jobs”—which recently returned to television—is renowned for urging others to pursue opportunities instead of passions: “Just because you’re passionate about something doesn’t mean you won’t suck at it. And just because you’ve earned a degree in your chosen field, it doesn’t mean you’re going to find your ‘dream job.’”
