The question is, what else would you be doing with your time?

yes! i loved doing 3d art on my own time when i was studying in school and uni, now i work as a 3d artist and i hate most of the stuff that i do. i would love to go back in time and get a different career and keep this 3d thing to myself as a hobby
Yes! That happened to me!
