Is it "worth pursuing"

“If wealth were something worth pursuing, then I would pursue it, even if that meant serving as an officer holding a whip at the entrance of a marketplace. Since it is not worth pursuing, however. I prefer following that which I love.” 7.12. This is one of that many things that Confucius says that made an impact on me. It explains what Confucius would do in one of the very big questions everyone gets after graduating from school. Should I study something that gets me a lot of money, or should I study what I love to do and see if I am able of succeeding through that. Confucius would go for what he loves and what he enjoys doing. I would say that through time, this thought has changed, for example in the present it is very hard to succeed sometimes, I would go for something that will make me have a good future, not taking chances.
