Should you follow what you like or what you are good at?
"liking or passion" are feelings and can be changed at any time. But on the other hand some of our abilities are simply due to how our brain is wired e.g. being good at memorizing stuff or understanding math and algebra, or hands on traits. We can't change these inherited traits as easy.
How to decide what kind of job/profession to do:
1. What does your favorite job look like? How much income, shift work, is there a need for it or there are no jobs for it, working alone or with others, possibility of being self employed, traveling, desk job or physical, do you have to move to different cities or countries, can it be part time, dangerous or safe (eg police or firefighter, climbing)
2. separate them to absolute yes and no's and maybes. The things that are absolute deal breakers that you would never ever do or the ones that you really want in a job. and of course there are some maybes, where you may have a preference but not a deal breaker.
3. Type of jobs that meet the above criteria, eg carpentry, engineering, medical field
