Here's the problem, Screwtape:
Everyone is different, and so you are not going to get one clear-cut answer. Lies believes that you keep your passions apart from your career. Mia's not been on any one path but she's slowly gaining an amazing set of professional tools and is touching lives along the way. Me, I've been in the sports TV business since 1995 and love it to death. I consider myself very lucky...but I never wanted to work in TV, ever. I wanted to do something different in the world of sports but circumstances lead me to taking an entry level gig in the business, and not only did I love it but I'm fairly decent at it too. So, for me, my advice is we learn by doing/trying. I knew I wanted to be in sports, because for me my profession must be attached to a passion or at least an interest of mine. That was planning, the luck was landing in TV and being decent at it...but none of it would have come to fruition unless I experienced it first hand. So, I'd say choose one of your passions, pursue it with vigor, make sure you don't 1/2-ass it, etc. But I'd also say, ignore me and everyone else and just do what SEEMS right and see where it takes you.
Oh, and do not be afraid to relocate.
Regardless, best of luck to you, this is an exciting time for you.
