I do agree that working for your career isn't the only options. Sometimes it's just to earn a living.

The things that both of them have in common is that they're sustainable. If you do not like your current position, make it sustainable for the time being. I was unable to do that, twice, so I think I'm at a point where I cannot do what I need to do.

Even the fun work (FOSS) is something I cannot sustain for 40 hrs a week, despite how much I enjoy it.

Time will tell, though
