“Find your passion” is ultimately tremendously selfish. It’s saying “I’ll do what I want regardless of what the world needs.” It’s learning to be a juggler rather than a dentist on an island with ten jugglers and twenty toothaches.

That would make all the dentists selfless people. Its not that straightforward.
Sure - obviously dentistry on this island will pay better than juggling, and adding an eleventh juggler will only further reduce juggler wages. It’s not an exact science, because pay does not equal value, so you have people becoming investment bankers etc.
