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

Timekeeping?
Yes, as in the studies of everything between keeping up with time zone rules, knowing when the next lunar eclipse is (in the USA that's coming up shortly early morning March 14), and even learning and understanding how long different CPU instructions take.

Kind of the opposite, but I void warranties for a living. Pays pretty well too.

Apparently there are people who receive monetary compensation for drawing comics. Some apparently can even do that as their main job. That's what I heard at least, they seem to be rare.

I got really into cocktails a few years ago. No way I'd be able to keep up at a real bar, even if I probably know more cocktails than many of the bartenders I've personally interacted with (TBF I haven't been to a bar since I really got into cocktails, and before I got into it I just went wherever it was cheap).
What's the distinction between cocktails and mixed drinks?

I write software for fun and give it away. I also write software for money and don't give it away.
Ditto! -
Linux Sysadmin here.
I have a couple open source apps/scripts that have tens of stars and ones of forks. I'm also getting into micro soldering to fix electronics. Mostly for myself but I'll hardmod or fix friends equipment for cost of parts. I've been known to buy a broken console, fix it, mod it, then sell it for some extra cash to buy more soldering equipment.
Nice! What are your projects?

According to my ex, I'm pretty good at defending the horrible actions of others in a conversation
You have a future in politics!

One was mixed with a cock, and the other was mixed with a tail, obviously.. /s

I'm trying to get into creating electronic circuits. I'm terrible at it, though.

What's the distinction between cocktails and mixed drinks?
"Cocktail" is more specific. Originally, it was identical with what's now called an Old Fashioned, i.e. spirit, sugar, bitters and water/ice. Later the term started including other alcoholic drinks like sours, martini etc.; I've seen people claim in discussions that's it's down to the amount of ingredients (e.g. a Rum & Coke is not a cocktail, but rum, cola and lime (Cuba Libre) might be) or a specific care exercized in preparation, but I think it's ultimately arbitrary.
Anyway, one of my favourite drinks is the Twice Up (whisky and water mixed 1:1, works great with many other spirits). Hard to call this a cocktail, considering adding water to whisky is just a completely normal way of drinking whisky in Scotland. The Scots just pour the water freehand instead of measuring an exact amount.

I play golf, some days I wouldn't even call it a hobby more like penance and a walk in the trees and sticks

Photography. I got back into it last year and have really enjoyed the process. I’ve learned a lot in a really short time.

I bake fancy sourdough, grow vegetables, do landscaping (but not mowing) make great cocktails for people, ferment foods and drinks. Occasionally draw things for decorations.
On the other hand, we pay someone to mow, and also to clean the house every other week.

Cool, thank you for teaching me something

I have a bunch of hobbies but the two that I'm currently concentrating on are building guitars and working on motorcycles.
There are plenty of people who build or customize guitars for a living. I have sold exactly one that I built from scratch and that was probably 15 years ago.
I'm resurrecting a barn find motorcycle that I'll sell (or I'll sell one of mine to keep this, I haven't decided), but I'm not going to make any money on it because it's not sought after. I'm doing it for love. I'll break even.
