I choose the thing I’m bad at. Working to become good at something I’m poor at is thrilling. In fact, the profession I left a while back was one I was initially a complete disaster at, but in the end was well-known as a reliable and talented worker in the field. (I left because it became something I wasn’t interested in anymore.)

I mean, it doesn't say I'll never be good at the latter thing if I try, so obviously it'd be a waste of my life to focus on something I hate? So I picked The one I'm very bad at but enjoy. But if the question were changed so that I somehow knew I could NEVER become good at it, my answer would be more difficult, because I need to make a living somehow.

But normally people become passionate about at least one thing they're already good at (unless they're bad at everything) lol, so the question didn't make a ton of sense to me. I don't actually have any experience being bad at something I love, but I have experience being good at something I hate (statistics are boring as shit, I like most math but "advanced probably & statistics" classes are always the most boring, trivial shit in the universe, even at MIT our statistics classes were dogshit), so that's why I know I wouldn't pursue it.
