Maybe this is what you mean by “hobbyist” vs “enthusiast”… I just call the thing that makes money a “job”. You do your job to make money. You can then do whatever you want with that money, including putting it into your passion. There’s no requirement that your job is your passion, nor that your passion generate money. If you do have a job that is your passion, that’s fantastic, but the vast majority of “creatives” (ooh, I dislike that term, if I’m creative but nobody pays me for it am I not “a creative”?) don’t have that luxury.

What you may be getting at is that somebody who is being creative as a job should be fairly paid for their work. Which I totally agree with, but I don’t think that’s what we’re talking about.
