I agree and disagree. I agree in that often our hobbies and things we love cease to be fun when they become a business. I know lots of musicians that are in that boat.
That being said, I believe in trying to "love what I do" for a living. I could never make it in the business world where I don't give a crap about the product or service I'm involved in. I've avoided a number of lucrative career moves because I wasn't moved by the work. I'm financially poorer for the decisions, but happier (I think - depends on how next week goes
).
