From the point of view of the individual, do what you love.
From the point of view of the working world, do what people pay for.
From the point of view of simple optimization with no bias, find the ideal intersection of both.
From the point of view of taking it easy in life, find the highest value, lowest energy activity.
From the point of view of working on impossible problems that you find fulfillment, put yourself in situations that are constantly above your capacity and fight for every step of the way.
Or, just do what you think is best according to what you know, no need for "absolute best" ways to approach life.
But while doing that, remember to be happy with what you have at present.
