Trying to break into, break though, or perhaps break out of your career? Wondering if “following your passion” is even a thing anymore – never mind bubbles and lockdowns?

What if you really can find opportunities that can float your boat no matter where and when you are in your career path? And what if passion is a thing, just not the only thing?
