Career choice
I've heard that you should "follow your passion." A counter-example: Some people enjoy the job of prophet, denouncing the evils of their time (and especially of their enemies). Experience suggests that those who enjoy decrying others' sins are precisely those who shouldn't have the job.

It might be good advice for YOU even if everyone else suffers from it. Muhammad and Joseph Smith both seem to have made out reasonably well by their false prophecy rackets; even judging just from descendants, relatives of Muhammad and Smith both still enjoy outsized importance in religions with millions of adherents.
Yes, false prophet can be a lucrative career, though IIRC Brigham Young made out better than Smith.
