The article is indeed well-written, if misleadingly titled. The point it is really making, "don't pick a high-status career, unless you are super exceptional" is masked by the stated conclusion, "don't do what you love or you will starve", which does not follow. There are plenty of opportunities to "do what you love" in "mundane" jobs.
