Meaningful Work or a Stable Income?

The human mind loves to think in dichotomies, especially when it comes to career choices. Should we go for work that is meaningful to us, or work that gives us a stable income? Maybe we can do something stable for a few years and then do meaningful work?

What I've found through coaching is that those who are truly committed to meaningful work and financial stability are able to cultivate both. They don't say "It's not possible", they say "How can I make this possible?".
