That said. If you browse some of the older threads, you will find cases of people pursuing passion but regretting later on in life when they struggly financially. (unless they are rich background to begin with)

Every decision has its price.
Hi, which is why I've decided to pursue another field and forgo passion because this "passion" can't bring me far in life. And as you've mentioned, I've to consider financial commitments in the near future.
