What to do? Job or Hobby?

Do you pursue after a paying job that you know you will get paid at.  

Knowing you most likely won't be happy doing?

Or

Do you pursue after a hobby you know makes you happy, but don't know if you can make a living doing?

What do you do?

A Hobby is an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation not as a main occupation.

Get a Job. You got to eat.

You need money to buy supplies for your hobby don't you?

Why can't you do both?

I really don't understand why you are putting an or in the question.

I know I've seen a lot of articles lately about how you can turn your hobby into a job.

But here is a New Flash, by the definitions of the words, a job isn't a hobby, and a hobby isn't a job.

There are people out there making a good living at jobs that once was nothing more then a hobby of theirs.  They are happy successful people working at jobs that they love to do.

Those people didn't come out of High School, knowing that they could make a good living by working at one of their hobbies.

They worked at a job so they could eat, and have money to buy supplies for their hobbies.
Making a little pocket change selling their products or services, once in a while.

You said yourself you don't know if you can make a living with your hobby.

It's time to be a man(woman).  Get a job so you can pay for your own supplies for your hobbies.

Laws of Nature says you are going to out live your parents.

There will come a time that they won't be there to support you any longer.

Prepare, Prepare, Prepare for that day to come.

Get a Job, Get a Job, Get a Job.

Play with your hobby when your not working, and one morning may come, when you wake up to find that you can make a better living by making your hobby into a job.
