TWP 003 - Passion vs Paycheck - The Constant Struggle of Pakistani Professionals

The Wandering Pro | Career Podcast By SK NEXUS

In today's episode I want to go over a commonly misunderstood concept - Passion. Thing is, being in Pakistan, how we approach passion needs to be different. It's easy to pursue passion when your needs are met, it's hard to do so when the average salary barely pays rent. So join me as we uncover perhaps a new way to think about Passion when it comes to your Paycheck.
