Supertom is right - to an extent. I like what I currently do because I became good at it - and I got into it to make ends meet. But I'd still love to do something else like music or art. I think the japanese have something called "riding the turtle" - actually it applies to working full time as an employee while starting your own business. But I apply the paradigm even to non entrepreneurial stuff: work at a day job and at night, or on weekends work on the other stuff. Yes, it gives the false sense of security to still be employed, but for short term planning it is good advice to "not quit your day job just yet"
