This is something that drives me nuts. I spent so much time getting a degree in a field that I thought I'd be passionate about, but now that I've got it, I'm no longer interested in a career in that field. This isn't news to me because I knew that I'd want to do something else a year before I graduated, but I wanted to finish my degree anyway. Just in case, you know, to have something. All my life, people told me that I'd finish school, go to university, and get a well-paid job doing something cool, something I'm passionate about, and I believed that for most of my life. But the truth is, that's just not me.
Now that I'm applying for jobs in different fields, where I'd have to go through a bunch of training again, HR people often ask me what makes me so sure that I'm making the right choice this time. They expect some deep, meaningful answer that explains why it has always been my destiny to work for them, an answer that justifies a career choice. But I don't want a career. I don't want to climb the ladder. I don't want to "do what I love and never work a day in my life". I want a job that pays my bills, a job that pays well enough to work part-time, a job that leaves me with enough free time to actually live because work is not life. Give me a job that's not gonna drive me nuts and just let me do it, full stop. No career advancement, just yearly raises to account for inflation. I will do my job and I will do it well, but I don't give a fuck about your company. Just a job that won't drive me insane.
But that's the wrong answer. I need to be passionate. I need to be committed and dedicated. I need to be agile and flexible. I need to live for this job. But I don't want any of that.
Something tells me lioness desires headpats, and some means of achieving basic economic, material stability.
Not sure about the latter, but headpats aren't too expensive.

the passion that drives me is the desire to not be homeless or hungry, and that has basically informed what I did with my life - I got the basic education needed to get a good paying job without going into debt ...

i didn't realize you could escape 😝
but more seriously, I do know some people that live Nomadland style, basically working for a season at an Amazon warehouse or in fast food, saving up money, and then living unemployed for as long as their savings will take them.
The homelessness is a given, both to reduce costs and to keep mobile and able to go where the jobs are.
That's a life without medical insurance, a roof over your head, etc. - a kind of asceticism that appealed to my self-loathing, but ultimately I feel sensitive and incapable, unable to rely on myself or survive. I have too much anxiety and neuroticism, and I worry about when I'm old or if I'm sick or disabled. Life feels too fragile, and I felt like that path leads to inevitable suffering and untimely death for me. (Not that capitulating and trying to integrate into middle class life doesn't also entail suffering, or even untimely death, but it's at least more comfortable and you have more resources to catch, prevent, and address medical issues that come up.)
