I've read through all the replies and there are some really cool perspectives. Here's my two cents as someone who graduated at the top of their class but is now doing something completely different. A few things I've learned:
  1. Learning is a lifelong journey. It takes time to transform knowledge into skills and eventually mastery. For instance, besides my full-time job, I'm also a trainer for MC skills. It took me five years to balance public speaking and teaching.
  2. Beyond personal interests, we all need an income to support ourselves. This income doesn't necessarily have to come from our dream jobs. It's simply a matter of doing what society needs, what you can do, and what society is willing to pay for. I've done everything from distributing flyers to lifeguarding and even tutoring - jobs I didn't particularly enjoy but provided a decent living.
  3. As for passions, I have many. I'm interested in technology and Eastern mysticism. I usually dedicate time to these pursuits after completing my primary tasks."
