Q2: @MakersHour
Is your making/creating/crafting your job or a hobby? Is it a side-gig? And does that change how you think about your projects?
A2: For me over the last 50 years, it has been a hobby, a job, a hobby, a job again, a side gig, and a hobby. I have learnt that I’d rather make for fun, as financial income can be much less stressful coming from other sources.
Also, making for fun is good for my mental health, whereas making for money is not.
As Adam Savage says, ‘Bullshit jobs’, jobs that are not bullshit, but don’t really matter to the person doing it as they are just for paying the bills.
