Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it.

  2. You'll find this in most non-professional activities-there's always something auxiliary but still in high demand because people can't do it themselves.
  3. Just doing your thing for money rarely works. My personal take on "follow your passion" is this: find the place where other people have the same passion, then solve their problems.
