Depends on a lot of things. I started an apprenticeship machining, and now I want to turn my garage into a machine shop.
I think the important thing is that you make sure you keep some of it for you.
If I did turn my garage into a machine shop, it would be tempting to start taking orders. That's where my hobby would turn into more work, having to meet orders and timelines.

I work with programming, and I used to think this was the case. The reality is that I just do it even more as a hobby as well.

the problem is that a lot of people are passionate about nothing.
