I always found the " find something you love" advice overwhelming when being told it as a teenager. I liked a new thing evey other week and was just figuring out what I wanted to do. I went into school for something I liked at first until I sat there one day realizing the idea of me sitting at a desk all day is laughable. I think any advice is overwhelming at that age though. Now I'll tell people to figure out the life they want then find a career that works with that since so many people pick career then work a life around that instead but that would have been equally overwhelming at that age. Picking a career in high school is just dreadful.
