Sorry :) It's hard for me to translate feelings into words in English

I've had that discussion many times and usually the conclusion is the same. Hobbies and work are different beasts. Hobbies are for the sake of it. Work is for someone else's needs and desires in exchange of money or power. You can enjoy a great part of your work, but not everything (for example taxes or crazy customers). For a hobbie you can leave it in any moment as soon as it's not rewarding... And such, long conversation.

I agree on having multiple sources of happiness, usually diversification in many aspects is nontraditional but pragmatic at the end. You know, have 1 spouse, 1 job, 1 religion, 1 sport team, 1 hometown... I don't disagree completely, it's more about deciding what do you want to have 1 from and what more than 1 (It's not a great idea having many partners at the same time, haha)

Many hobbies, many jobs, many sources of income, many friends and such. It ain't easy, at least for me.
