So use sick days to your advantage and work like a mad dog in your off hours.
What about a balanced life? What about love? What about deep discussions with other people? What about heart-to-heart discussions? What about taking a walk in nature? What about spending serious time on Personal Development? What about your mind staying at peace without becoming a mad-house of busy-busy-busy-busy?

Sure some people can do what you suggest - work regular 40 hour, and then put 30 hours on their own time to fullfill their passion. I know I couldn't, I need time for the other aspect of life. Life, to me, can't just be about work. Thus, this path of working 40 hours at a job, and then 30 hours on a second business wouldn't work for me.
