yes, sure. But the thing is, if you have to do something like work, even if it's the coolest thing, it gets sucky.
For example, I love programming and I love learning math. But working with programming feels really bad sometimes. There are deadlines, there are times you have to work long hours on a row in something you don't like much, or you liked at first but now it doesn't feel good anymore. I'm not sure we can escape that on the system we live in.
Also, doing math on school (high school and university) a lot of times feel really bad. Sometimes you have to take a test on stuff you don't really feel like studying at that time, or maybe you won't feel like studying ever. And you end up not having time to study what you want, or you end up studying less of it.
I don't know, maybe it's the morning coffee talking, but I just don't see the society making progress towards making life of the individual better. Or rather, it seems to associate production with happiness, while I'm not sure that's the case.
