My passion is audio but my job is writing software.
I have a lot of friends in the audio field, and something I've noticed is that doing your passion for a living can take the fun out of it.
For instance, my friends in the audio world don't sit around listening to new loudspeakers, or designing new loudspeakers. They mostly spend their time marketing products and filling orders. Working in audio isn't a whole lot different than working in any other retail field.
But when I work on audio projects? I can do whatever I please, because I'm not doing it to pay my mortgage.
