I chose a career I didn't really like but sounded good an paper, hated the first 6 years of it. Now that I have climbed the ladder a bit I have loved the last 3. Whatever job you're going to pick is going to have aspects that you hate and ones that you love, even if it is just the paycheck. I will tell you from experience though that when your only joy is the paycheck you get every couple weeks it makes for a miserable life.
Success is going to be measured differently for everyone. I, like most, based it on money when I was younger. Now I would take a pretty good pay cut to absolutely love what I do every day. Some people buy shit to fill the void in their life, I did. Once you're doing what you love though that shit just becomes icing on the cake.
