Leaving court for a softer focus

There was a pretty good article on the back page of today's health supplement in the Times. A guy from Dublin left his job as a solicitor to train in England and go on to become a professional photographer. You've got to admire that for a career jump! http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/health/2008/0916/1221430249373.html…

Seriously though, how many of us have thought about jacking in the 9-5 (or whatever) to give it a real go? Do you think it would be a good idea mixing your hobby with your career?

Personally as much as I like photography I think I'd like it to remain a hobby and not a job. Could be swayed though if someone offered me an internship :P
