I'm a firm believer in the idea that you don't need to be passionate about your career. You do need to find your passion in life, but that just does not need to be your job. Working in a field you love is a good way to eventually hate the field.
Obviously this isn't true for everyone, but it's true for a lot of folks, myself included.

Reply to LPT: Do not fall for the whole pursue "working for your dream company" idea. You will be so much better off if you have a wonderful, respectful, considerate boss at some normal business who actually values and respects you/your work, and allows you to become successful and proficient in your field. by Dismal_Body_2731
