But at the same time, a hobby carmecanic would maybe do wounders to his own car and some close friends while working as a car mecanic you help hundreds of ppl with their cars.     I dunno...

Making my living of music sometimes include artistic compromises but its still fun and I really hope I can continue like this for another 4 years.

inshallah

If you've got the space, and the means to move one, people are almost always giving away free pianos on Craigslist.  Off topic I know, sorry.

Ah yes you're right! I forgot about that. I'll have to look into it once I move out to the west coast. Cheers smile

I think the more important part is, at least for me, preserving the feeling of freedom you have with hobbies. Certainly, doing comissioned work can be fun (mostly for the challenges involved, as you mentioned) and the reward of seeing it comming together is very satisfying. However, I'm easily being stressed by pressure of commitment, which can build up pretty fast when your creativity decides to ignore the outlines of a project completely and wanders off to something different instead (which mine is prone to do). The fun always, always ends once money is involved sad

Haha, yea that's true. It's definitely not always easy to write music for other people and can be stressful at times. But if you're lucky you can pick and choose your projects in such a way that you're always pushing your boundaries but not giving yourself a stroke. And hopefully you don't tackle too much work that you can't afford to have an off day. I think the money's just proof that you're providing something of value to someone, anyone. People gotta eat!
