Has anyone ever turned a hobby into a profession?

I absolutely loved playing with my chemistry set as a kid and today I get paid to play in my lab and create the next worlds greatest adhesives.

@QueenofPentacles No one is more surprised than I am. Never in my wildest dreams...

It didn't last long. I used to love to go to yard sales and look for collectibles and antiques, and my brother used to do the same. When he grew bored with his business hobby, he gave me all of his remaining stock of silverplated flatware, and I stayed in that mail order business for almost four years, and supplemented it with a flea market stall on the weekends. I did that in additional to my regular job. I think the silverware replacement service brought in about $5,000 my best year. Obviously you can't live on that.
Me. And then got sick of it and move to another 🤔

I made $30K by playing games so I don't know if I turned a hobby into a profession that way :)

Oh, I just thought another. My hobby is buying domain names. I made over $15K from that.
