Of course it would be best to match your passion to a career before graduating, but it seems very few people do.
There are quite a few web sites designed to match up interests, skills, knowledge, etc. to careers. One example is at http://browsecareers.com , but there are plenty of others. These web tools should be used as just one point of reference. To the point mentioned in this article, best to get input from plenty of friends and family.
