Skills over passion?

[KushShah9492]

I've heard this advice at least a million times "FOLLOW YOUR PASSION" . While initially motivating, I found it highly deceiving and considered it as a diversion as to what I should actually be doing. It might hold it's own fan following, but following your passion is not always rewarding (monetarily or otherwise). Ofcourse there might be some cases where following the passion was actually fruitful, but they're extremely rare. In the long run however, you need money to take care of yourself, your family, etc. IMO, passion might get you started, but skills are what would keep you going. Passion may not get you where you want to be, but skills can help you get there. The reason I'm writing this is because there are a number of people(especially teenagers or wantrapreneurs) who take the PASSION FOLLOWING so seriously that they might forget about other skills required to get good at your job, grow your business and move in the right direction. I just wanted to make them aware of this factor and take responsible action rather than impulsive ones.

I might receive a lot of flak for this, but I'd like to know what everyone here thinks about this.
