There's an aspect of that in all things. Mark Twain said nothing ruined the pleasure for him of boating down the Mississippi as much as learning to do it properly, and that's the reason I decided not to take a job in the audio industry, after my training for it. I wanted to keep it as my passion, and I knew the nature of the work I'd be getting into, at an entry level, anyway, would kill it for me. There most definitely are jobs that allow people to combine their passion and their work (Scott? Aaron?), but those people are lucky; it's a tricky position to obtain, methinks.
