Hjort,
I am trying to outline my essay for Columbia:
Please tell us what you feel most passionate about in life. (250 Characters)
This seems fairly straightforward, but I'm having some trouble determining whether I should give this a professional or a personal tone. For example, if I pick something that is a hobby and completely unrelated to my career, I'm afraid the AdComm may wonder why I'm not pursuing my passion as a career. Is this is a reasonable fear? Do you recommend picking a topic that can be tied to my career goals?
Thanks!
