I don't think you necessary have to make a hard decision with what to do with your career/hobbies. These aren't mutually exclusive choices. It sounds like you have the freedom to explore your options, and even try them out. You could get there and do some contract/remote work part-time while enjoying hobbies. You should try building products of your own. You could try to profit from your hobbies. You could take a sabbatical for a few months. Good luck. Doesn't sound like you can make a wrong choice here.
