On Passion and Living (required 5)

I am extremely passionate about baseball. There would be nothing more satisfying than if I could spend everyday on a baseball field playing or watching (playing is slightly more preferred), America's pasttime. There is no chance I could ever make this passion into a career, the odds of someone making a living playing any sport are slim to none, and I am in no way near qualified to have even those odds. Generally speaking, there are only a few things I consider myself passionate towards, one being romance (which we are not talking about here) and the other being baseball. So unfortunately, the percentage of time I spend is slightly skewed towards the work I do to prepare for my career; by slightly skewed I mean more like 100% of my time is put towards something I am not passionate about. I think that this holds true for most Americans, that the country values the work done for a career more than the work done out of passion (unless those overlap). The idea that people only really ever get credit for the work they do in their job, not for what they do when they are at home dabbling with what they love only proves my point. As for me, I am one of those that wil be stuck doing something they are not passionate about because, at least in my case, the passion will never pay and with no money you are not much use to the American society.
