Something interesting I learned at school today ...

Mark Albion, author, educator, and consultant, discussed a study on passion and work. The study was from 1960 – 1980 and the participants were 1500 business school graduates who fell in 2 distinct groups. “Group A contained the individuals who selected their first job on the basis of money, believing that they would get to their passions later in their career. 83% or 1245 of the people studied fell into group A. The remaining 17%, or 255 subjects, elected to find work that they were passionate about regardless of money. At the conclusion of this 20-year study, 101 of the subjects were multi-millionaires. Group A produced one of the 101. The other 100 came from the group of individuals who chose to follow their passion.” (Albion 2000)
