Default Should people learn to love what they do or learn to do what they love?

This is something that I've been pondering.

Should people learn to love what they do or learn to do what they love?

Some people think of quitting their jobs and going for their "dream". But many end up poorer or unfulfilled. Of course there are those who "lived happily ever after".

On the other side of the coin, there are people who get a job out of necessity. While some remain unfulfilled and disgruntled about their day jobs, there are others who excelled in them despite not having passion for it in the first place. They gain recognition, earn respect and build their dignity as a result of their perseverance and diligence.

I would want to tell people to do what they love. To do whatever it takes to pursue their dream. But this thought makes me wonder if that is right.

What do you think? Should people learn to love what they do or learn to do what they love?
