Here’s a question for you. When you’re looking for a new job, or even if you’re going as far as designing a total career plan from start to finish, do you think it’s better to base your work on something you really like doing or should you concentrate on something you’re pretty good at? In other words, is it preferable to prioritise your passions or your skills?
