So many people are working a full-time job just to fund what they are passionate about. There isn’t anything necessarily wrong with that. Especially if your passion doesn’t have a high ROI (Return on Investment). There are many people who have side jobs doing things that they love to do. Many of these jobs are usually in the creative market, such as music, film, and art just to name a few. Many make a huge attempt to turn these passions into full time jobs. This can be done, just don’t expect it to be easy. I’m not trying to burst anyone’s bubble, but there are some good benefits to having a regular job while also doing what you love.
If you have a full time job then your family is more likely more secure financially than if you were pursuing your passion. This is a selfless act because you are putting your family above your desires. Another benefit is that you can probably invest more into your passion. Having a stable income you may be able to purchase better equipment or products that you desire. Another big thing that most people may even loose that passion if they are squeezing all the funds out just to pay bills. It goes from being fun to being a responsibility. You never want to loose the enjoyment of doing what you love by adding an extra pressure to it.
This post isn’t to discourage anyone from working to create a full time job out something you love doing. I just don’t want anyone to end up like another person I heard who can’t figure out how to turn a Youtube channel passion into a full time income. She felt like she needed to quit doing it because she couldn’t get the income to come anywhere near her full time salary. It had me thinking that maybe that was a side gig for her to just do something she loved when she has the time. Ultimately we should follow wherever the Holy Spirit leads us. He will give us a peace in what we are doing if it comes from him. Pray about, talk to your family, and make the best decision for all of those involved.
