Hello there
I'm asking this directed mostly at people with actual life experience.
Is it worth pursuing a career that I enjoy but won't pay much or should I do something else to give me good money, I currently live in the Sydney area and it's a rather expensive place to live, I love it here and I'm not sure I'd like to move anywhere else.
I've always liked the idea of being a teacher or doing something that involves history but I just don't know if it's viable.
Then also my interests come into account as well.
I think my most expensive interests are motorcycles and cars. While owning my dream motorcycle is a possibility on a low paying job I don't think I'd ever get the chance to purchase my dream car especially since its only going to up in price from now on.
I feel as if I did something I enjoyed my job day to day I wouldn't need that stuff, though I'd like to own one or two luxuries if I could.
Then again
I would love the opportunity to be someone who made good money and was well off, I don't think I'd want to live in a beach front mansion even if I had the cash but I love the thought of having a garage full of all my favourite cars and bikes, being able to afford to travel on occasion and maybe even own a second property out in the country I can just fuck around on. I just feel that this goal is much less likely to work out. Also there's the possibility I won't enjoy the job I do.
tl:dr should I pursue a career I think would make me happy or should I pursue a career that pays me well enough to do whatever I want within reason on the time that I have off?

Why don't you start by learning a trade related to motorcycle maintenance, like machining, or welding. It doesn't have to be a permanent career, just something to get yourself started

I don't know if it's something I'd really want to do as a career though. It's something I'd much rather do as a hobby.
Like video games, I enjoy them but I don't think I'd ever want to work in the industry, I fear it'd kill my interest outside of work.

there is no such thing as an "enjoyable career"
You will "enjoy your career" if you are getting paid well and living a good life outside of your work. Don't fall for this meme.
Also don't listen to these idiots telling you to get into "trades." Seek out professional employment as a doctor, engineer, accountant, etc
Be ready to work your ass off and make huge sacrifices.

I feel as if it is possible to do something that you enjoy.
For some reason it just depresses me whenever I think about working in some office building doing something for someone else.
I do like the idea of being a doctor though, maybe a vet? I like the idea of having a place that is mine or small enough that everyone knows each other. I just fear I won't be smart enough to go into that sort of work.

That's the whole point. Learn a useful skill doing something you enjoy to support yourself while you figure yourself out
