Of your "vices", I enjoy idling and daydreaming. I wouldn't consider these passions though.

But it explains the job I end up doing somewhat well (always could be better). I am currently doing what most would call business process re-engineering, to daydream of new ideas to help people generate more idle time to daydream themselves (e.g., think of high-value add).

No, I do not think I will be a VIP soon giving speeches on career but I am earning what a statistically average Singaporean would envy and an elite will accept as minimum wage.

The goal seriously is to be happy because you are going to spend a significant portion of your life working. If you are paid too low, you would be unhappy throughout your free time and work time. If you are paid below average (like almost everyone else, including the second highest paid person), you may be unhappy from time and time and hopefully your interest will work will make you on the average more happy than upset, frustrated.
