Why do you think they don't? I certainly chose what I do. It's something that didn't really exist - certainly in nothing like its present form - when I graduated from high school, and has no relationship to what I did to earn a living for more than a decade after that.

Further that the amount you will get paid doing what you love is usually not possible to live on.
But why should you even expect to get paid for doing what you love? The point of working is to make enough money so that you can afford to do the things you love when you're not working*. After all, isn't that why they call it work, and not play?

*And if you plan things well, accumulate enough in investments so that you don't actually have to work.
