Should you follow passion/'destiny'/'purpose'/genes/strenghts or should you follow you think is needed/ fits with the market (meaning, there are jobs for that particular field)

Why am I asking this? Well the work that you do is for most people on this planet (including me) gonna take a significant portion of your limited time on earth as a human. The reason I ask this in my opinion essential question is because it haven't found many people that think about this, even though its a grand thing('career' choice).

I myself am now following a Software Engineering study course. The reason I chose this is because with the skills of a software engineer you can have the ability to automate or make certain tasks more efficient (Which is the whole goal of technology?). Well I wanna live in a world where everyone would focus on automating every task within technological reach so that the whole idea of needing to find some thing to have a living would cease to exist (except if your ofcourse pessimistic and think elysium will happen).

I also chose this because in general if you have skills in the field of technology then the chance of finding a job that pays higher than minimum wage seems to almost everywhere be higher. I assume that is because technology is maybe one of the most valuable things humans have created, because it saves time and resources by making things more efficient or automated. And I think all humans value their time immensely because we subconsciously or consciously know that time is maybe one of the most valuable resources that exist.

If I earn more than minimum wage when I'm finished with the degree then my ability to provide for myself and/or my family becomes greater. I am not interested in big extravagant products and expenses like a big house, the ability to have a big family(or having kids whatsoever), or just expensive things in general. I am actually more interested in being able to provide for my basic necessicities as best as I can, like water, rent, healthy food and electricity.

Now, am I particularly passionate about Software engineering?

No, I am quite indifferent to the actually programming/software engineering itself. Ofcourse when I do manage to program something that works and I pass a test then I get some sort of gratification. At the the moment the act of programming is not particularly fun to me and I have to really put my head down to it, my reptilian brain would rather do something that is fun/in my comfort zone like making music, listening to music, talking to people, watching youtube, researching all kinds of topics or questions I have, and playing games or just doing nothing that has any market value whatsoever( I realize this is because of my privileged position, this is how I led my life the past 18 years).

I actually mainly like doing nothing and one of my definite passions is the idea of having freedom to do whatever I want, even if that means doing nothing at all (as opposed to having to give up 40+ hours a week to earn a basic living). But this is completely against the way things are in the sense that you have to do something to make a living. The thing is, having doing nothing as something that you find fun makes it really hard to even consider any job I would like, or even the idea of a passion as your destiny and job (there are alot of wealthy people that give this as advice, to do what you like, and that that will make you wealthy).

Now one of my strenghts or 'passions', are playing and composing music, which I have done for 8 years now, I understand alot about music now. It is totally in my comfort zone now. The obvious answer for most people as advice to me would be 'Follow your passion, do what makes you happy/you find fun' and proceed to get some sort of music degree (which has extremely low chance of finding a job) or try to make career with music (with literally millions around the globe trying to do the same thing) which also has alot of insecurity money-wise.

Other things I do 'naturally'/are in my comfort zone/I find fun, is talking to people and observing people. I like talking to people because I like connecting with people and I also like comedy or laughing and that is always fun to do with other people. Some people even say I should start a youtube channel of some sorts (But I don't want any kind of public exposure).

The answer here could be 'Go into Sales! if you like talking so much' , but most sales involve selling a product that has very little value or usefullness to most of society and doesn't improve anything in some large scale. Sure with sales you might make a portion of society subjectively happy for a moment with some kind of product and sales talk. And there are probably sales jobs that do sell products that have definite value but those require experience going through crappy sales jobs first.
And second, the sales people will in the end, always be dependent on the people creating the product in the first place, which I can see that that is not a position that I think I would like being in.

I also like doing nothing and thinking about all kinds of things (most of the times, with no particular goal in mind or something that has market-value). This is something I do automatically/is in my comfort zone, so here the obvious answer could be 'Go into Sociology/Philosophy/History/Psychology'.
But again the likelyhood that this will provide a job for me besides a minimum wage job that has nothing to do with the fields I just mentioned. There is a possibility you can become a teacher with these degrees, but I don't want to because I don't want public exposure.

You can say that I think to much or something, but thats the whole reason I write here. Because If I want generic responses I can just talk to people in my vicinity.

I'm 20 years old, thanks for reading and thanks in advance.
