<human>: Quick background: I'm late 20's, graduated at 22, immediately started a desk job and have been there ever since.

I watched **[this video] earlier this morning and it made me profoundly sad. I've always yearned to create things whether it be music, drawings/paintings, woodwork, or even a delicious meal. Unfortunately I don't discipline myself in any of them and move on to the next hobby/interest I have fairly quickly, thus never mastering any of them. At some point in my life I've tried at varying levels of effort and success:

* Drawing
* Painting
* Piano
* Guitar
* Bagpipes
* Electronic/digital music creation
* Writing
* Photography
* Pipe carving
* Programming
* Sculpting
* Cooking/baking/grilling (I'm probably the most proficient at this however unless I opened my own restaurant I wouldn't want to be a chef)

And I'm sure other passing fancies that I can't even remember anymore. Other artisan work that fascinates me that is a bit financially restrictive to try include things like woodworking, glass blowing, bladesmithing, and jewelry making.

I realize most of these things require you to start out making little to no money at all and the longer you do it and the better you are the more money you can make.

If you've dropped everything you were doing with your career and have done this, how did you do it? What tips/advice do you have for somebody wanting to do the same thing? What other avenues might I have to create without having to drop my career that I haven't thought of or listed?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: I yearn to create as a career but I don't see something that could replace my income - how did you do it?
