I imagine I'd hate writing (well, 'journalism/opinion writing') if I had to do it for a living. The pressure of a deadline creeping up on you, no ideas because you just don't feel creative this week, or maybe you don't know how to entertain your audience and can watch it slowly drifting off or losing interest? That's tough. Writing here is fun because you don't have to do it, some weeks I enjoy just reading what other people have written.

That's a fair point. Writing seems like an attractive career because I enjoy it, but the common wisdom is that if you try to commercialize a hobby you quickly lose the enjoyment. Definitely something to think about.
