re: Would you say that your hobbies make your life bearable?

still genuinely love my career, but I also make a priority to dabble in things that pique my interest.

I moved away from bedside. And for the same reason (nurse back) I moved away from golf and to guitar.

It was mentioned earlier “is drinking a hobby”. That’s another pitfall. I am too old to drink like I used to. It’s just not a good idea. All of my previous hobbies and travels involved drinking. Golf. Travel to a beach or lake or an island? They all can revolve around drinking.

Just my opinion but watching TV can’t be a hobby. Just not healthy. I now play guitar when not working or doing family things. Got to have a hobby. If you are one of those folks who made a career out of a hobby or your career IS your passion, I am jealous and more power to you. If I could make a living woodworking. I’d do it. If the woodwork was building guitars I’d never “work” a day.

I looked into Collings Guitar in Austin and applying for a job. I realized I was having a mid life crisis. Lol. At least my crisis didn’t involve buying a corvette and leaving my wife for a younger woman.
