Strategy Consultant Dorie Clark writes a thought-provoking article for the Harvard Business Review arguing against turning a passion into a career. As detailed in her article “Don’t Do What You Love,” Clark posits four reasons to think twice before doing what you love, specifically:

- You’re skilled at your passion — but hate the work that surrounds it.
- You’re too emotionally attached.
- No one will pay you for it.
