Are you passionate about your study - if so, why? What are you studying?

I have always believed that you are good at what you love. Therefore I have chosen to study about things I am passionate about. At the moment I am studying to become a birth attendant - or a doula. I am learning all about how babies are born and how to support women emotionally and physically to help them cope with labour. I am being taught to empower women and endorse natural childbirth but also to support any woman in pregnancy and labour who need my help. This means that I have alot to learn, some of it is out of text books and some of it is hands on - you learn on the job so to speak. I am totally loving my study and I find that it is not so much a learning but more of a 'oh thats why that happens' situation as I have had four children of my own. I think I have found my calling in life. I have studied quite a few things and all but one was a passion of mine, I have done, if I may say myself, very well in my studies because I have applied myseld well and worked efficiently - but most importantly I have done well because I have done things that come naturally to me and have enjoyed myself! The one thing that I did study, office administration and accounting, I was only an average student and then when I finally worked in the field I really didn't enjoy having to go to work everyday. I really feel for people who don't do something they enjoy for work. What about you, are you studying your passion and are you therefore going to love your worklife? What are you studying and why? Does it have to do with your hobbies? I will be a fully qualified Doula by the end of this year. When will your course finish and what role will you fill in your worklife?
