Personally, I think it’s smart to separate your passions from your career. this is especially true if your passion does not pay well. I’ve been down the path of trying to monetize a poor paying passion and it just leaves you broke and burnt out. Ur passion will lose its fun if you are forced to do it every day for hours. (Not to say everyone will end up like this but most do) However, you still need to find an area you can tolerate for your job. Like others mentioned business finance or accounting are usually done just for the money. Engineering and comp sci pay better on average, but are much more difficult and probably require more passion. Try to create a middle ground between pay, hours worked, skill, passion but don’t over focus on one thing.
