At least, those jobs would be related to activities I enjoy doing
in my spare time these days.
OTOH, I'm not sure it would be a good idea, because every time I
tried to "go professional" with one of my hobbies, it was the end of
it, kind of...
For example
-
I studied electrical engineering/electronics, mainly because I had
been doing this as a hobby for many years before (in quite a geeky
fashion actually, ever since I had been a little girl — much to the
bewilderment of my environment...). But then I somehow suddenly lost
all interest — even before having finished my degree. And I
haven't touched the field ever since.
- So I studied psychology (something I'd always been interested in), and even worked in the field
(i.e. scientific research) for some time. But then I got more interested in
doing programming full time — which I already had been doing
quite a lot to get my psych. experiments carried out, data evaluated,
reports written, etc.
- So I switched again, and became a programmer/software engineer
— which is what I'm doing for over a decade now. Still
doing it (in part because there is Perl), but who knows... (yes, I still do like hacking in my spare time, too, but it's no longer the same thrill it once was).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
