Do people love their jobs?

I'm an older millennial that entered the workforce sometime back. I currently work in investments, and love capital/financial markets.

Makes you question your purpose each day... but remember, your job is not your identity.

I am currently looking to find jobs outside accounting, which I have been doing. However most companies are looking for experienced people. Do courses in Skills future help one to job hop?

I love my job. I work in the arts and media field, and I’m currently getting around 4k after 5 years of experience. Is it too little? Should I be changing jobs?

For the same amount of money would you have a job you love but have to work 60 hours a week, or have a job you hate and work 35 hours a week?

People often say follow your passion but being in a technical job that I am in now, I don't see any passion left to pursue. How can I start a side hustle when I'm already very busy with my FT job?
