What hobbies do you practice that is other people's professions?

Just thinking about the little things we enjoy that is other people's way of earning, for example fishing.
I am developing software as a hobby that is fairly specialized in nature. That is only because I could not get a job doing the same thing. Fuck corporate monopolies.

Doing stuff with CSS
That is so cool. I suck at CSS.

Mechanic. I have the tools and know how to fix my own car so long as we're not talking about an engine rebuild, (and even that I could do and have done in the past, but it's a pain in the ass usually and I don't wanna). I enjoy the tinkering and troubleshooting. If it were a more desirable and high paying gig, I could see myself doing it for work. I also am IT support for my boomer mom.

Self hosting, I guess it makes me an IT person as a hobby?

Astronomy. I have a big ass reflector that I use for struggling to find globular clusters, oggling the fuck out of Jupiter and the Orion nebula, and very slowly working my way through the Messier list. I considered going to school for it, for a hot second, but I kinda really don't want to end up the fucked up publish-or-die academia world making less money than I do now but with PhD debt.

A professional is someone who fell into the trap of turning their hobby into a source of income

I considered this until I learned how much more IT is paid than me, without needing the education and certifications that I need.
Funny, I can't seem to remember which port my mouse plugs into on my work computer now.
this is a good point
but also. bees in my brain

I find distressed audio equipment and bring them back to life.
Here is a photo of some of the pieces I've worked on:
Top Shelf:
Adcom GP-555 It's actually dead. I cannot get the left channel to work at all. Resoldered the entire signal path, replaced the opamps, cleaned the controls, bypassed the controls.. Just cannot find where the issue is...
McIntosh MC7108: On/off circuit issues. This one I didn't really fix, just bypassed the affected circuit, because I don't care about turning it on and off via a switch. I use it every day.
Second Shelf:
Carver TFM-15cb: Needed new lights in the meters and the input level pots cleaned. That is all the one pictured needed. I have another one that required the same things, but also had to recap it. The one in the photo will need new capacitors before too long. Great sounding amps, but not very well built.
Bottom Shelf:
Soundcraftsman PRO-PA2X200: This is actually an amp my wife has owned for over 30 years. The power supply caps went out and needed to be replaced.
Here is a photo of said capacitors:

It’s why I get the anti work people. If I could change careers every few years I would. I love learning about new stuff. I post a lot but most of the time I do that is either when I have idle time at work, before or right after work (although sometimes it leaks into weekends). I hate the phrase jack of all trades master of none, it’s cool to know about a lot of things
sorry to tell you(maybe not, may make you feel better depending on how you take it), but almost no body makes an earning by language studies, not even professors (only very small amount of them make something reasonable with respect to their effort)

Op just said profession, not whether it was viable economically
