It seems like you are asking where you should invest your time. If you are passionate about your job and it is making you money, then focus on it. You'll be able to earn a lot of money at it.

What's important is what you do with that money. Make sure you save some into some kind of investing plan. It can be as hands off as you want (say an annuity or buying TIPS (Taxpayer Inflation Protect Securities) or something else) or you could day trade the stock market. Just make sure you save.

If you enjoy your job and don't want to stop working, I would suggest saving enough in fixed income assets to provide a reasonable level of financial security should you be unable to earn money from your passion in the future. That way you can continue to follow it, rather you are payed or not.
