Do what you like OR Like what you do

How much forgetful we may be, but there are few moments and learnings from our life that never fade. Approximately two and half years back, one of my friend said a thing, that always comes to my mind whenever I think which career path should I choose, 'Do what you like OR Like what you do'.

But how many of us really go with 'Do what you like'? For most of us the path that is monetarily more lucrative becomes the logical and the practical choice, and we eventually put 'what we like' on the back seat of our mind. How many of us really know what we want to do, or is it really the money that matters the most?

How to make a right decision? What is the right choice? What is that prevents us from doing what we like?

What do you guys think, should we prefer a better paying job over the one that fascinates us as this seems more practical, or should we do the job of our choice to make the career more interesting? Lets share our ideas and experiences, good or bad, the mistakes we did while choosing our careers, the things you would like to suggest so that others get benefitted.
