Good luck mate. Optimize about 60% for income and 40% for passion and satisfaction, including all work-life balance/commute effort. Money can buy you the time to work on things you give a shit about. In tension, if you give a shit about your work you need less time and money to do your passion in your spare time.

Well said, thank you. I find it difficult to work on things that don't yield direct benefit ($ or productivity/convenience). And if work is just a means to make money, I'll quickly grow apathetic and depressed.

Any advice on this?
