    Talking How a hobby can be a profession.

    Hey All,

    I was curious about the feeling between profession and hobby. The stereotypical behaviour is always that people say that work is for the money but not to like it. I personally think that is a redicoulus way of thinking especially since you work around 2/5ths of your life. I really love my work and can positively say that it is a Hobby with the benefit of providing money. but am i one of the many or one of the few here?

    A very good show is Project Haut that I'm following. that is made by an architecture bureau with the target of building the biggest wooden apartment building in europe. all and good thats quite the project but how to show it, having a 3d model looks fun and has alot of detail but won't give the WoW effect, so they bought a Lasercutting machine and a passionated Modelbuider went and built a model of the coming building. (i added the photo's as attachments) that really looks awesome, and you do see that the care that has been given to the model is really of someone that has fun and cares about his project. he only hs been given tools that an individual cannot afford but is really cheap for a company to make his hobby worth value for the company.

    so I'm curious are you all at work for the money (first hand that is) or because you really love what you're doing. also, the really bold ones do you think you will expand your hobby to be proffitable and then build a company around it?
