It's all common sense.
Passion often happens after you succeed at something, not before. Before is angst, hard work, effort, practice and building your skills. Do what you can be paid the most for. The passion will grow.
Chasing passion can be dangerous. "The pleasures and sorrows of work" also touched on this idea. There is a naïve thinking behind passion. Many people believe that if they follow there passion, their happiness and desires will follow. Not true. Life can still be hard. You still must work at it. Passion may help you over the hump, it does not prevent problems.
This book argues that many people who preach "follow your passion" do so only by looking at the past with rose coloured glasses. There was a time when they were doing it for the money, then the success came, their passion grew out of the success.
