I think ironically, the more educated you are, the stronger your bias towards not pursuing a hobby as a career. I also wonder, whether things would have been different if my parents had more financial security, and then maybe they wouldn't worry too much about whether I succeeded or not.
Good to see you around here, we're about to push out a new update in the coming week, it's got quite a lot of changes/improvements. derangedvisions made a post about some of the new features, and he's also launched a new photography contest sponsored by us. Lots of good things to come!
