I tried making a living out of diving (2 years in Sabah and live aboards) and photography, ended up disillusioned and poor.

A friend owns dive centers, he dives a lot less than me.
A friend owns a bike shop on the beach, he ride a lot less than me.
I "like" what I do.

I don't know which is better.
