Genealogical research and science fiction. No, I prefer to keep my hobbies as hobbies.

Volunteer on a heritage railway (portering and loco restoration); wildlife + environmental stuff.
Not sure I'd want to do anything on a full-time basis, but it would be nice to be paid for doing stuff I really enjoy. Though as others say, once you get paid for it and have to go to "work" then I think almost anything would lose some of its shine.

Recent time, I'm tired of coding & really don't want to code much anymore at work. It's been 14+ years. Ofcourse it's not that much long as I have seen coders with 30+ years exp. even in CP. I think current era making things crazy on coding to me. So planning to move away from coding.
BTW I have babies[^] & 'll take care of them.
Apart from work personally I'm planning to create utilities(Freeware/Opensource). And I don't want to use big softwares for development. I want to use lightweight applications like Electron[^] or NW.js[^].

Comics, Books & Films. Planning to make my own in future. Waiting for right time(and budget).

I play Bass, but I wouldn't want to get paid for anything I do purely for enjoyment, the moment you do that it becomes work not fun... (I learnt that with electronics and programming!)

Playing guitar and drink beer, yes I would switch if I could earn what I do coding to play guitar and drink beer with the same guys playing what we do now.
I like what I do, but if I could code for a hobby, maybe I could enjoy it more. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I do some coding in my spare time (arduino stuff, a bit of this and that) and I used to spend a lot of my spare time riding my motorcycle, but since getting knocked off about 5 years ago I haven't really gt around to replacing the 'bike. These days I spend most of my spare time volunteering at my local amateur theatre on the lighting crew. Nine shows a year, each lasting two weeks per month, keeps us pretty busy.

Unfortunately I chose a hobby of Continuous Improvement.
The benefit to my primary job has been great...
And luckily I have photos of my family... I am confident I would recognize most of them in a lineup.

I got an Arduino a couple of months ago and am having fun with that. I would not want to make a career of it.

Archaeology (a former career and passion), with which I'm happy to just supplement my pay but otherwise it pays too little, has no job security, typically offers no health insurance, and you end up living out of hotels a lot despite having a perfectly fine home of your own that you pay for.
Also, as evidenced by my full second refrigerator, there is my passion for beer hunting and drinking, especially New England IPAs (yeah, I'm one of those guys and unapologetic about it because they taste so damn good)... and (duh) I would love to get paid to do that, but also because it would offset the medical bills I will incur later in life due to all the beer drinking.
Oddly, the more I do either of those hobbies the less I want to be coding.

Race around in the woods on offroad motorcycles, target shoot, make something cool in the shop when I have the time. I'm happy making money coding.

- Photography
- Chainmaille
- Macrame
- Creative writing
- Old house maintenance
The photography has been a lifelong hobby that I'm now trying to turn into a business. Not sure if I'd do it full time even if I could -- if I did, I'd only find that coding becomes a hobby.
The chainmaille has also been a lifelong hobby, although it's been on the back burner ever since I broke my ring cutter. I've been substituting with macrame a bit, and it's fun too. It should get interesting when I make a new ring cutter this summer as I'm sure I'll end up merging the two.
Creative writing recently added itself to my list of hobbies. I've always wanted to give it a try, but now the characters keep wanting more bits of their story told. I'm a bit concerned this hobby will take over my life.
Lastly, if you have an old house, you already know that maintaining it is a hobby

Fox was bought by Disney at the end of last year.
Doesn't that mean Klinger is now a Disney Princess?
