About your first sentence. I disagree that one needs a passive income to enjoy their life. You can pursue your life purpose as an employee although pursuing your life purpose and creating passive income through that purpose offers more flexibility.
I also disagree with the concept of retirement. If you are doing your life purpose, then there is no point in retiring. Reducing work hours might fit a lot of people, but you will need your life purpose to be satisfied.
As for the rest of what you said, maybe I was unclear. Your "career" is your life purpose or the area of interest in your life which you work at continually. For example, Steve Pavlina is a personal development expert. That does not mean that he works as an employee for another person; he earns passive income from his career. You are talking about the benefits of passive income, not the benefits of traditional investments vs investing in one's career.
