One observation regarding hobbies and EC’s translating into career choices… I was a model airplane geek back in my home country, competitions, the works, almost made the national team once. I never thought of aerospace engineering as a career choice. No money, not back there, not here. Likewise, I loved photography, I was (still am) good at it, no money unless you’re exceptionally good.

There’s not a LOT of money in veterinary care unless you are good, with a big practice, and so on, all of which take even more money. My exotic vet does not make a lot of money - she’s awesome, has to be to do micro-surgery on rodents for $120…
