Hobby
Tools: Look here for Spare-time recreational
pursuits. Hobbies are practised for interest
and enjoyment, rather than financial reward.
Examples include collecting, making, tinkering,
sports and adult education. Engaging in a hobby
can lead to acquiring substantial skill, knowledge,
and experience. However, personal fulfillment
is the aim. What are hobbies for some people
are professions for others: a game tester may
enjoy cooking as a hobby, while a professional
chef might enjoy playing (and helping to debug)
computer games. Generally speaking, the person
who does something for fun, not remuneration,
is called an amateur (or hobbyist), as distinct
from a professional.
An important determinant of what is considered
a hobby, as distinct from a profession (beyond
the lack of remuneration), is probably how easy
it is to make a living at the activity. Almost
no one can make a living at cigarette card or
stamp collecting, but many people find it enjoyable;
so it is commonly regarded as a hobby. |
