Of course, nothing says you have to have only one job. Luckily, all of my interests are viable professions, so I try to do them all.

I have become especially fond of the latter approach, when possible. No million dollar moonshots like you often read about around here, but I've had good luck at least making back the cost of my time/materials, which is quite gratifying for something I'd tinker with for free in my spare time anyway.
I think it works really well for me. I love the flexibility and variety while still being practical. But, again, I have been fortunate to be almost exclusively interested in things that people are willing to pay for.
