These educated and often rich people at graduations always like that trite
advice for the kids.
"Do what you love, and you will never work a day in your life."
Boy that sounds profound.
My Dad, a hard worker did 35 years at the same factory I work in.
It treated him well, he knew it and appreciated it.
That said, he had an original piece of advice that came from his observations
throughout a working blue collar life.
"Anything you do for a living, becomes a job."
He never graduated HS. Or got a GED.
Noone ever ask him to speak publicly.
But he was smart enough to know that no matter how much you enjoy
what you do, when you have to do it day after day, it will lose it's appeal.
Not that you have to hate it, but...It becomes a job.
