Quoted from SilverballSleuth:

I'm young, I have nothing to lose, and I don't want work to feel like work. Not that I'm not willing to work, I just want to love what I'm doing.

THIS part is difficult: once you turn a hobby you love into your job, there is a real good chance you'll fall out of love with it, and quickly. What was once a get-away that you could lose yourself in for a few hours after slogging away at your day job, now becomes the source of all your worries, financial and otherwise. I'm all for following your dreams, but sometimes you have to keep the day job, and cherish those moments in the off-hours when you can press the start button.

If that ain't some pretty sad "dad" advice, I don't know what is...sorry for being a downer; it's just another way of looking at things.
