I'm with Marvin on this - to me, a job implies something you HAVE to do. A hobby implies something you WANT to do.
I refer to my own self as a hobby sculptor and for some reason, it really sends people through the roof when I say that, as if I am belittling what I do.
Not so. I have a full time job, then get to come home and work on my hobby. It's a hobby that makes money, and granted, it is a TON of work, but the day I call it a job will probably be the day I stop wanting to do it.
