But slogging through unfulfilling work just for money can crush the spirit. Shouldn't fulfillment drive us more than finances?

It's not that black and white. Stability provides freedom to explore passions and passions can evolve over time.

That's fair, but some passions feel innately part of us. And stable corporate jobs may restrict pursuing them fully.

many passions like arts and music can be pursued on the side while having a stable income.

I suppose that's an option. But doesn't following your calling, even if unconventional, lead to more satisfaction ultimately?

In some cases maybe but having financial security seems to enable happier pursuit of passions overall.

That makes sense logically, though it delays doing what you find meaningful. Some callings just pull at your core.
