    Bad advice. If you make your hobby your job, you’ll lose a hobby.

    Funny meme though.

      I believe I’ve heard this once put thusly: “If you make your avocation your vocation, you’ll get no vacation.”

      Depends on a lot of things. I started an apprenticeship machining, and now I want to turn my garage into a machine shop.

      I think the important thing is that you make sure you keep some of it for you.

      If I did turn my garage into a machine shop, it would be tempting to start taking orders. That’s where my hobby would turn into more work, having to meet orders and timelines.

      you are mistaking having a hobby with having a true passion for something.

      the problem is that a lot of people are passionate about nothing.
