Fulfilling job or comfortable living job?

Hello all, I currently am in a bit of a tough spot. The work I do right now is inpatient psych but it doesn’t pay well. I love what I do but $17.50/hr is just not livable. Before I went into healthcare, I was working sales. I was good at it, I made good money, but the fulfillment I got from it was limited. If I choose to do both, I’ll run myself into the ground working 14hrs a day, 5 days a week. Thankfully I’ve been able to keep this path because of my partner. But recently he lost his job and the market is unforgiving. Im looking at going back to my old company just to make a livable wage and knowing I can climb the corporate ladder if I choose to. I’m still quite young, 20. So what’s the right path? Be fulfilled, run myself into the ground, or make good money and leave my job behind?

I work overnights in psych, I love my job, but there have been a few shifts where I just stare at the ceiling on break to get away from being overstimulated. So out of curiosity, what do you do on those shifts?
