I’ll be honest, I’ve been wanting to work with trains and transit and that’s what I’m doing. So in all seriousness, I am happy with it even if I give up 40 hours per week + 7.5h spent commuting.
I know not everyone has that luxury of working for their passion and I really wish it was the case, be it art, teaching, healthcare, research, being with wildlife, sports, games, cooking, whatever.
The problem for me is if a passion becomes work, it eventually stops being a passion. Even with things I really enjoy, I need to take breaks from those things occasionally. You can’t do that when it’s not just for fun but is your actual livelihood.
I suppose so. Even if you like drawing art and are decent at it, spending your days drawing furry smut commissions to pay rent isn’t what many artists would describe as an enjoyable time.
“Work-life balance” is an important thing too that startups, corporations and sometimes the government like to forget for people.

I feel the taking break parts. If I could take extensive breaks every once in a while, it would be fine, but you need money so…
