In career planning, many people regard stability and a high income as their primary goals, while others unhesitatingly pursue opportunities fraught with uncertainty and challenge. When personal interests conflict with career paths dictated by market demand, should one prioritize inner passion or adapt to the external environment's practical requirements for specific skills? Please discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both orientations, explain which one you lean toward, and support your argument with specific work fields or examples.
