This is the worst mistake you can make. I'm still paying off loans for careers (yes careers, I'm a complete moron) that I got into due to "recession proof" or some other type of slick nonsense. If you do what you love, you will be better at it. The best in any career will always succeed. Success will bring money. No job is gone forever. There _are_ still buggy whip makers out there, they are just harder jobs to find. I'm sure those who went into it out of love of buggy love are very happy and successful. Those who went into the cassette tape industry are ruined unless they jumped to a new career quick. Do not go into a field because of any kind of economic incentives.

I used to think newspapers' main problem was poor pay, but now they can't even offer job security. Yes, I spun my newspaper career into a marketing/PR career a few years ago, thankfully.

Before the economic downturn, I considered myself pretty happy but I've had entrepreneurial aspirations. Now I'm at a point where I am rethinking everything! Instead of taking a leap of faith with it, I may get pushed off the cliff-- too! I know a lot of Millennials with the same spirit. I have similar sentiments.

I'm a job now that pays well and is stable even in down times, but that doesn't mean I'm happy. I'm at that stage in my career where I'm seriously considering down-shifting or going solo. Getting fired would just put me over the hump. My answer is an unqualified YES. I’m a job now that pays well and is stable even in down times, but that doesn’t mean I’m happy.
