Could You Turn Your Hobby Into Your Job?
Why would you want to do that? Turn your fun, enjoyable hobby into a dreary job? Or maybe turn your everyday job into something you would do for free?
Roberta Chinsky Matuson at Monster Career Advice discusses how you could start doing what you love for a living.
Your first step in attempting to make a job of your favorite activity is to “research your hobby to see if it’s a business,” Sentner advises. “Make sure your hobby is marketable. Being passionate about something is one thing; being passionate about something marketable is another.”

Don’t do it! Many a poor soul hath been panged by loosing that which recharges. It would be akin to sustaining the activity of thy motorcoach on the road using a battery-charger and not the battery!

Still loving the meaningless drivel that amounts to a post on this blog. Obviously the author doesn’t have a passion for giving any actual information to the reader. Hell, two paragraphs copied from someone else would have been better.

Well, my hobby turned into a pretty high paying job. :)

You can’t turn your hobby into a job unless you have really strong social connections to exactly the right people– people with lots of influence who would hire you in a snap just because you’re such a close friend.
You can’t turn your hobby into a business unless you have strong social connections AND buckets of money under your direct control.
If you have the money and the connections (both were likely inherited from your rich parents), then turning your hobby into a job or business is positively easy.
