> If the answer is anything other than "Because I enjoy it" then you probably need to re-examine your decision

Who is going to pay for him to live a life doing only what he enjoys? You?



Well, if he loves programming and is good at it then I might pay him to do what he enjoys.

No matter what you love, there is almost always a way to make money doing it.

Enough to live on? This is patently false.


At this point I would say that is nitpicking...

In some cases maybe not, but you could always supplement your income by doing something related. Or, if you have to, even something you don't like.

At least in that situation you'll be able to look at your crappy part-time job and daydream about the great job that you do the other 50% of the time.
