No - I'm a hobbyist Kevin - I don't do anything for money.
But there are two definitions of 'amateur':
One is someone who is 'amateurish' and not able to turn out work to a professional standard.
Another is someone who works to a high standard, but not as a profession.
I strive to work towards the latter.
The one thing that hobbyists have in their favour is that unlike professionals, they're not constrained by time pressures, and if hobbyists don't enjoy what they're doing, they can stop doing it. Professionals, on the other hand, have to work because they have to eat!
