A "Good" Job or Your Dream Career?

from debrief · host Cece Xie

Don't know what to do with your life? Me neither! In this episode, I reflect on my own path of pursuing a stable career first and passion second. I examine the allure of "stability," the risks of over-prioritizing passion, and whether it's possible to have both in contemporary life. Tangents include Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Elizabeth Gilbert's advice, and the parable of the Sword of Damocles.VIDEO PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/IvZduiKtGO8FULL ESSAY ON SUBSTACK: https://cecexie.substack.com/p/a-good-job-or-your-dream-careerTIMESTAMPS00:00 - Intro07:41 - Stability11:14 - Passion13:10 - Both?
