Don't make a work off your hobby, you'll stop loving that. "Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life" is a lie.

About fifteen years into my career I lost interest in side projects, and by the time I retired anything that smacks of coding seems like drudgery. I occasionally watch a woodworking YouTube channel. The creator tells people if they start woodworking as a job they'll have to find a new hobby.
