I'm not sure this generalizes well - would this work if everybody was doing it? (It might).
Without specialization of labor, the world simply would not support this many people. Billions would die.
It generalizes well. In fact, the more people do it, the better it works.
But I wonder whether thinking "How can I earn money?" gets specialization of labor as well / better than thinking "What's interesting to me?"
It might result in people trying and failing to do things that pay a lot, rather than try and succeed at things they're well-suited for.
If you know that will be a problem, I think you're smart enough to figure out that you have to do something you're interested in. If not, you're not going to come up with this as a guideline in the first place.
