When hobby becomes profession...


Some time back, I had an argument with my friends over the topic "When Hobby becomes profession". I stated that if we make our hobby our profession; we will get a new hobby! Most of my friends strongly opposed my opinion. A question is why I said so?

Let me elaborate. It’s a human nature; boredom is an output of monotonous life. When life goes on the same track; we tend to divert ourselves to do something different. Moreover it is not boredom but it is a tendency of human mind to have a change in life.

The moment you choose your hobby as your profession; it becomes your routine task from which you expect to get revenues. Hence it becomes highly professional. I, personally, have converted my passions into profession but I still have my hobbies on the other end. I guess; we misinterpret the words 'Hobby' and 'Passion'.

A year after this incident, I again asked same question to same guys; what is your hobby? The answers contradicted with the earlier answers.
I am not here to discourage people who have converted their hobbies into profession, just wanted to make a point…When hobby becomes profession; you get a new Hobby!
