Do you have a hobby -- something you really enjoy doing in
your spare time? Do you love gardening, taking care of
animals, dancing, or hiking? Have you ever wondered what it
would be like if you could spend more time on your hobby and
less time at work? Perhaps you can do both at the same time.
When choosing a career, one of the things you must consider

are your interests. Why then do so many people not even think
about their hobbies when a hobby is, in fact, an interest.
Perhaps it's because even Webster's Dictionary defines a hobby
as "a pursuit outside one's regular occupation". Maybe this is a
rule you should break. After all, no one ever said your hobby had
to stay separate from your occupation. In addition people are
usually very skilled at their hobbies. The combination of interest
and skill are very compelling reasons to choose a particular
career.
