I have attended several recruitment talks where older lawyers would say that it is a "calling" and young people need to have "passion".

If one is cynical, one might say that the vague words like "calling" and "passion" are just another way of hoodwinking bright-eyed graduates because law firms have nothing else to offer. Exploitative and penny pinching practices, poor salary and allowance compared to the past, international firms, other sectors like tech and finance, and soul sucking hours with no breaks. Passion solves everything when we can't treat you right!
