Finding Your Passion
28 Jan
I know the whole “how to find your passion” thing is a hot and heavy topic of discussion out there, especially in some circles. My advice has always been “go try and bunch of shit and something will stick” but I know there’s a lot of you who want more. More advice, more posts, more things to tag in del.icio.us.
If you’re in the “more” camp, Ben Rosenfeld of Big Ben Comedy has 25 pages of goodness for what ails you. He took the very brave step of dropping out of Cal-Tech in order to pursue comedy and if the internet is your source for Very Important Life Advice he’s probably a good person to listen to. And a lot braver than you.
*it’s been pointed out that this post sounds angry. That’s because I don’t feel well and I’m dragging myself out to perform anyway. My anger is at god and myself. The ebook is worth reading.
Mike Rowe has some interesting thoughts on finding your passion/work in this TED talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/mike_rowe_celebrates_dirty_jobs.html
You wouldn’t be Corman if you didn’t sound angry once in a while. ;)
