Just thinking about the little things we enjoy that is other people’s way of earning, for example fishing.

So many

Homelab

Buy broken electronics, repair, resell (so like microsoldering, diagnosing, etc)

Woodworking but I’m bad at it

Cooking

Music but I’m bad at it

3d printing/cad but I’m bad at cad

Language study 日本語

Pcb design and some coding related to this but I’m bad at it

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 (as long as you recognize the limitations of your knowledge)

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

I recently learned that the full quote goes like this: “Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one.” Thought that might reconcile you with the phrase :)

it doesn’t matter whether you’re good at it or bad at it. As long as you enjoy what you do, that’s all that matters :)

You can also be a jack of all trades, master of some. Or a lot. Or most. 🤝

Ha no, it means Japanese (or Japanese language). The kanji would be pronounced “nihongo”
