I’ve heard this before, but haven’t found it the case personally. I started work in manual jobs and messing around with computers was my evening hobby. Many years later, I now do IT as a job (partly from gaining skills from that hobby) but also have continued it as my primary thing to do when I’m not working. I was worried when I changed into this career that my hobby would become too much like work to be enjoyable, but I’ve not found that.

Is this the same for other people, or am I unusual in doing something in my off hours that’s so close to my career? I’m genuinely curious to know if others have found the same or whether they found another hobby.

    Just so you know, this just came up in converstation with my husband, (losing hobbies because of work). So I read him out what you said, and what I said. He said, “you’re better than 80% of the people I work with, that’s just some online troll, Im serious you’re better than most people I work with, don’t listen to people like that”.

    His loss of love for cooking has nothing to with me. It’s three days later bruh and like, don’t assume man. Diss my skill, a skill I pride myself in. humphhhh.
