This question assumes that people have some sort of innate passion or obscure talent that they wish to pursue, which is not always the case. For instance, I have no objectives in life other than to maximize income and leisure, and to pursue ends that necessitate said money. If I did not need money, I would sit home all day drinking coffee and reading voraciously. I think many other people have similar desires. Not everyone is happy pursuing some arcane dream for little-to-no money.
