If you really want to expand this out ... there are of course a variety of endeavors along the continuum. Sports (and I'll admit, I have never had any particular interest in sports) is an obvious one, with the Olympics being a focal point in this regard. In some countries, a single test in school will determine the rest of your life to a significant extent. Young musicians practice their art and craft endlessly though few will ever be able to make a profession at it.
This is not to say that these endeavors aren't valuable in their own rights, but my point is that putting your whole life in one basket is problematic to my way of thinking at least.
