Most people don’t enjoying working a 9to5 job but just have to work in order to make ends meet. Have you ever wondered what you would do if you no longer have to work for money?
A user asked the forum, “If you could quit your job and pursue your hobby full-time with financial security, what hobby would you pursue?”. Let’s look at the top responses.
WOODWORKING
“Woodworking. It is a very useful skill. You could craft stuff for yourself, redecorate your house, try to be innovative and create something new, make gifts to everyone you like.”
GROWING PEPPER VARIETIES
“Growing hundreds of pepper varieties. I started growing a few plants and have slowly added to the amount every summer.
I get geeky about growth and getting maximum growth without using chemicals. I would love to have a small farm and just work it daily.”
LEARNING NEW LANGUAGES
“Learn all the languages.”
WRITING
“I would love to write all day, every day. It would give me time to make something that wasn’t a steaming pile of garbage.”
TRAVEL
“I would just travel, anywhere and everywhere. I would love to spend a year or more living in a place and then move on.
I would spend a lot of time near or on the ocean as well so I can scuba dive.”
RACE CAR DRIVER
“Race car driver. No hobby is more financially insecure, so assuming that is taken care of… I can’t imagine anything better. As Steve McQueen said, “Racing is life, everything before or after is just waiting.”
OPEN ART GALLERY
“I’d open an art gallery/patisserie. I’d buy and sell local artwork. Talk about art all day. Eat macarons. Bake croissants. I’d die happy, for sure.”
GUITAR PLAYER
“I would be a session guitar player or maybe even do some sideman stuff.”
STARTING A LITTLE FARM
“I’d love to start my own little farm and sell stuff at a Farmer’s Market every weekend.”
VOICE ACTING
STARTING A USED BOOKSTORE
“Start a used book store. Collect rare/out-of-print books, learn how to restore/rebind the really old ones, and sell them along with regularly used books.
There will probably be an espresso machine, comfy couches and chairs, and a friendly dog.”
BLACKSMITH
“I’ll become a blacksmith. I love the idea of making swords, axes, armor, and all sorts of cool stuff. Also, I would love to open a restaurant. Both would be great.”
MUSIC
“Music. I wouldn’t even care if I made a career out of it.
If I had the time, I could actually finish writing a damn song.”
STARTING A CAT RESCUE
“I’d start a cat rescue. I could spend my life petting cats and making sure they get good homes.”
PHOTOGRAPHY
“Photography, for sure. Exploring places would be crazy good.”
VIDEO GAMING
“By far, video gaming. There are so many games already, a constant influx of new games, and they are constantly evolving. Huge variety.
Games for when I want to be social and games for when I want to be left the hell alone.”
