It might be fun to run a yoyo store booth at festivals, fairs, and outdoor markets. That’s something that could be done only on weekends. ---

> [@Albertino](#): > > I am from long time thinking to change my career and want to do something nice and I am passionate about instead of the usual “office jobs” that I did on the past 10 years I had the same thought many years ago and took an opportunity to leave my career and do all day what, at the time, I was already doing in most of my spare time. Short story short – for me, it did not work out. Some people are truly driven by their passions. I think it is great when people pursue their interests, even if they seem uncertain or other people think that they are frivolous. That is part of the process of innovation and providing inspiration to others. But I also encourage people to consider the practical aspect. For several hours a day, most days a week, a job is a job with all the usual duties, pressures etc. Is that going to compliment someone’s passion, or drag it down? I think the answer really comes down to whether the _job_ parts of the job are also a passion. E.g. in retail, someone who is passionate about the product and also driven to excel at inventory management, fulfillment, customer service, etc. would be a great fit. Someone who is passionate about the product and expects that to sustain them through a workday full of uninteresting tasks is probably going to struggle. After a couple years I returned to my previous career, which frankly has zero overlap with any of my personal interests. However, as a _job_ it is a good fit to my skills and temperament, and affords me the time and money to pursue my passions separately (the time part is the key for me).
