It would not be possible for me to agree more with Steve's perspective on blogging for a living. As I write in a similar field as Steve, I chose blogging as my vehicle for some of the same reason's as this article talked about - time and the financial freedom to enjoy it.
Steve, you did a great job of not only describing "a day in the life," but also of painting a good future picture. Although I have only been seriously blogging for about 6 months, I have already seen several blogs cash out of the game.
On the content side, I have also seen the benefit of being able to put a "personal development spin" on just about any circumstance that is of interest to me, yet still make that post worth my readers taking the time to check out. That keeps me motivated with a never-ending list of useful concepts to blog about, thus ensuring the lack of a need for an exit strategy.
Hey, if I can turn lessons from Star Trek or the Wonder Twins into blog posts, I can blog about
anything!
