How long did it take you (as a lawyer) to lead your first case after you started at a law firm?

Should you try getting a job related to something you're passionate about, or will it ruin it for you?
I've seen a handful of artists say things about how having jobs where they have to make art constantly has made them stop liking it. I was wondering if this is a common way for people to end up feeling. I also would like to know if it's only in the creatives, or if things like sports, engineering, healthcare, etc have the same problem. Should I/others looking for a job still try pursuing something we're passionate about, or will we end up hating our interest? I would like to have multiple perspectives on this, so even if you have very little to say I would genuinely appreciate you sharing what you do have. I wanna see all of the different opinions people have about this, it'll help me a lot.

What are the legal barriers I should be aware of when trying to open a small business at 14?
I understand that because I am a minor, some things will have to go through my parent, and some things I can’t do at all. But finding information for what I can and can’t do as a minor is really difficult. I know I can purchase supplies myself in person with cash, the e-commerce website profits will have to go through my parent, and lead to their bank account. But are there any taxes I should be aware of? Do I have to declare myself formally as a small business to anyone, or declare myself as a minor? Anything else on the legal checklist?
