"I've told many folks that if you enjoy doing something,, don't do it as a job."

I should have taken this advice after I left the bike biz and got into tech. Tech was fun as a hobby, and I was becoming good at it, too. After leaving the bike biz my sister in law suggested I turn to tech to make some bucks. I did that and the pay was significantly better than the bike biz. Way, way better. Enjoyed the money, but after the first year I realized it wasn't fun money. It was chore money. Did it for 10 years to catch up on not making squat in the bike biz, then had enough invested to allow me to go to my retirement job, which I did for 3 years and enjoyed every minute of it, then I bowed out of the workforce a year ago.
