I had this attitude until my late 20s. Then I realized that I really need a career to set myself up in life. So now I'm a senior programmer.
And my programming hobby? Better than ever! Turns out, having actual professional experience makes things easier and I can just play around with it whenever I want with a lot less stress than if I didn't also do it as a job.
Of course, I also have other hobbies. But making money on my main hobby was great in the long run.
