Good question! 9 times out of 10, especially nowadays, you may find yourself doing a number of things that may not necessarily align with your role but it will still be required of you anyway. So yeah, most likely you will have to do that thing you don’t like at the beginning of your career because most companies are looking at your adaptability, flexibility and how fast you’re able to adapt to unexpected change because corporate can be quite fast paced.
If you like 90-95% of your career (or even 70% upwards) I wouldn’t advise you to give up on that passion just because you don’t like the remaking 30% or 5%. The aim is to gain access to the room first and once you’re there you’ll have a much better understanding of what works for you and what doesn’t as you go along the experience.

Even in a job you love, there are always parts that aren’t fun, and learning to handle those is important for your development. It shows responsibility and helps you build discipline, because even in a job you are passionate about, not everything can be exciting all the time. Pushing through those tasks also makes you appreciate the parts you do enjoy even more, and it helps you grow by teaching patience and a strong work ethic

Thank you for your question, In every career, there are pros and cons. If you really interest on the career, you can overcome. If those cons are really a show stopper to you. Then, you may need to consider another career.
Below are my suggestions :
1. Find out more on the careers you have interest
2. Attend the information session of relevant subjects in colleges. Speak to the professors if you can.
3. Speak to someone who are working in these careers.
4. Seek guidance from your mentor, school career counsellor, your parents, etc.
You can then have a thorough consider whether the career is suitable to you or you find an alternative.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
May Almighty God bless you!

It's normal not to love every part of your job, even if you're passionate about the field. Passion means the overall work feels worthwhile, not that you enjoy every task.
Whether you can avoid certain tasks depends on your career path and how you shape your role over time. At first, you'll likely need to handle basics, even those you dislike, to build a strong foundation. As you gain experience, you'll often have more choices. You can specialize, pick roles, or work in places that focus more on what you like.
Try to see if the tasks you dislike are minor or major parts of your job. If they're minor, they're usually manageable. If they're major, consider exploring similar careers where you can follow your passion without dealing with parts you dread. Remember, careers are more flexible than they seem at first.

In any career, you will inevitably encounter "steps" that feel tedious or unnecessary. To answer your question directly: No, you cannot skip the steps. In fact, the higher you go in your career, the more important those steps become.
The key to a successful career isn't finding a job where you love every single minute; it’s learning the difference between passion and self-discipline.
Passion is what makes you want to start a project. For me, as writer, it’s the excitement of a new idea or the flow of a first draft. It feels effortless and creative.
Self-discipling is what makes you finish the project. As writer, it is the "boring" part—the editing, the fact-checking, and the formatting. These steps ensure that the final product actually serves the people who need it.
Don't look for a career that lets you skip the hard parts. Look for a career where the "passion" part is so rewarding that it makes the "self-discipline" part worth the effort.
