You don't have to be passionate about your job to make lots of money. I work for a big financial services firm and for those who are willing to stay for 10 years or so , they can make 250k+/year. It will be a grind but the money will be there whether passion is there or not. Hey MD,

All you have to do is being smart and dedicated to your job. Passion is a different level, which makes you want to do your job or whatever it is REGARDLESS of the amount of money up to a certain point. After making much more than $50-70,000 for a single person, you DON'T really need much more. It's just life inflation and gravy (savings) after that. The way I look at it is if you can make more money now, it may save your work life down the rod. i.e. takes 10 years to make $500,000 making $50,000/yr or 1 year to make $500,000 if you do so you don't have to work 9 years in the tail end so you can save and do whatever you want. Regarding sucking it up, that's what I've taken in a slightly different approach today in "Treat Your Job As If You Won The Lottery". Thanks for the mention. When do you graduate btw?
