There is still the assumption there that the only way to make a living is via a "career" which necessarily entails doing something you don't care about and aren't otherwise interested in to make money. That is not the only option
I think you are taking this point too literally. The question is: what proportion of your life are you spending pursuing career goals?
For a bit of background on this, I strongly recommend Skidelsky & Skidelsky (2012) How Much is Enough? [1]
