Oh, it's ALWAYS a gamble. But is the risk of following your bliss greater or less than NOT following it? I tend to be the gambling type. I'd hate to ever look back and wish I would have followed it, but didn't. I'm all about following my bliss, but it's also taken me toward financial insolvency. However, I am firmly convinced that my online writing activities (especially short, terse-verse humor and non-humor) is the only way to go for me. It's my living and breathing obsession. To stifle that is risking misery: more misery than being close to broke. I truly feel I can turn it around. But, I'm not gonna turn it around at a 9-5 brick-and-mortar job. As it is, I work much longer hours (up to 10 per day), but it's doing something I love to the max.
Good luck on whatever you decide. Sometimes practicality has to outweigh bliss. But, not for me! LOL.
