Fair enough.

My wording may be an issue but #2 is good.

I think #1 should be the driver. But, like I said, might be my wording. What I mean by #1 is simply this. At the end of the day, the only reason someone else is going to give you money to do a thing is because THEY need or want that thing.

Today, people seem to think the primary actor in a transaction is the seller for some odd reason. But you make the best purple people eaters the world has ever seen. If no one wants or needs them, you wont sell them.

To your point, 1 and 2 are always in balance.

You don't want to be good at something no one wants.

And you don't want to be shite at something everyone wants.

Theres a tradeoff where you want the thing you are best at that makes money.

For me I was good at math, science and history.

STEM pays well, so I went into Engineering since History doesn't pay well.

If I was rich I'd do history.

I like tech, but if I didn't need the money... I wouldn't do it
