I'm undecided on this.
Eg. Say, maybe you like playing video games, coz it's fun. Doesn't necessarily mean making a game is fun, programming and coding can be a bitch, which in the end might turn you off the whole video games thing.

Enjoying life in some form is a must if you wish to maintain "positive" mental health. Putting your income source and your passion into one would be nice instead of having a job that you detest.

My hobby is drawing anime but I can't do that professionally because,
My other hobby is gaming. All the games I'd want to work on are Japanese though. Basically, all my hobbies are Japanese. I can't do what I like because I'd need to:
In the end I'd probably get paid poorly because I'm pretty sure no one does too well in the Japanese animu/manga/gaming industry (I heard it's really shitty working in anime studios). I'd also have to compete with a bunch of Japanese otaku who can speak the language natively.
TL;DR - It'd be nice if I could turn my hobbies into a career but it's just not realistic.
- I'm not good enough yet
- I don't speak Japanese
- I can't really do this shit in America (who the hell hires animu artists here?)
- It would be really hard for an American to go be an illustrator in Japan
- You need fucking mad skill

- Become fluent at Japanese
- Adapt to living in a new culture
- Become good enough at drawing to actually make someone consider hiring a foreign white guy

Those two saying aren't even related to hobbies, its related to work ethic.
Its separating work and play, and telling you to appreciate the hard work, so you can be more pleased to do the hobbies you enjoy.
Even if you do happen to make a hobby (for example, drawing) your job, its still two seperate things. Yeah, they might correlate into each, but that's in the fact that it'll likely improve your ability to perform. Other than that, I still say it can be separated.

I don't see the problem of getting paid to do what you love, just so long as you don't grow to hate it.
