Hobbies

It's often said that happiness is achieved once passion collides with skill. In other words, people thrive when they're doing the things they love. Naturally, getting paid to do those things is what many people consider a dream life. Unfortunately, most people consider such a life just that: an unobtainable dream. That doesn't have to be the case, though. Many hobbies and passions can -- and do -- lead to lucrative careers and fulfilling lives.
常言道，快樂(lè)是激情與技藝摩擦的結(jié)晶。換句話說(shuō)，人們做自己喜歡的事情容易成功。自然，因從事所愛(ài)之事而獲得報(bào)酬是許多人夢(mèng)寐以求的生活?？上?，多數(shù)人都覺(jué)得這種生活可望而不可及。其實(shí)未必如此。許多興趣和激情能夠而且也確實(shí)締造了美好的事業(yè)和完滿的人生。

Photography

攝影

Everyone can take a picture with a camera, but it's no secret that some are better at making images than others. If you possess impressive photography chops, people will pay you good money for your work. To build your portfolio, offer your services for low prices and then work your way up.
誰(shuí)都會(huì)用相機(jī)拍照，但眾人皆知有些人就是能比別人做得更好。如果你攝影技藝了得，人們就會(huì)優(yōu)酬請(qǐng)你拍照。要獲得成功，你可以先廉價(jià)提供服務(wù)，然后再一步一步擴(kuò)大。

Carpentry

Carpentry
木工活

With countless factories creating wooden furniture for impressively low prices and at impressively fast speeds, you'd think there'd be no demand for handmade carpentry skills. That's not the case. Many home and business owners still appreciate fine craftsmanship and are willing to pay for handmade, sturdy, one-of-a-kind pieces.
有數(shù)不清的工廠能夠迅速生產(chǎn)出物美價(jià)廉的木制家具，你可能覺(jué)得手工木匠活怕是無(wú)人問(wèn)津了，不過(guò)事實(shí)并非如此。許多家庭和企業(yè)主仍然欣賞好的木工手藝，也愿意為那些堅(jiān)固的百里挑一的手工木活花費(fèi)大手筆。

Music

音樂(lè)

For some, music isn't just a hobby -- it's necessary to their happiness here on Earth. If you fall into the "music lover" category, perhaps a career in staffs, notes and key signatures is for you. You can give private voice or music lessons in your home or rent a studio and work from there.

Fashion

Fashion
時(shí)尚

It may come as a surprise, but those who scrupulously follow the latest trends and coo over magazine covers and strangers' outfits can actually make money off their love of all things fashion-related. For example, fashion gurus can become personal stylists, serving as a client's "voice of reason" when it comes to wardrobe. Fashion lovers often make great blog and book writers, too.
聽(tīng)上去或許有些驚奇，但那些對(duì)最新流行趨勢(shì)亦步亦趨、對(duì)雜志封面和他人著裝評(píng)頭論足的人其實(shí)也能從所愛(ài)的時(shí)尚類行業(yè)中賺錢。比如，時(shí)尚達(dá)人可以變身為私人設(shè)計(jì)師，在穿衣打扮方面成為客戶的“權(quán)威發(fā)言人”。時(shí)尚達(dá)人還能成為優(yōu)秀的博主和作家呢。

寫博客

If you're a writer and you enjoy having an audience read your work, consider starting an online blog or two. The topic should be about something you're both passionate and knowledgeable about.

如果你是名寫手，喜歡有人讀你的作品，何不考慮寫點(diǎn)網(wǎng)絡(luò)博客呢？話題可以是你喜歡且擅長(zhǎng)的范圍。不過(guò)你得明白這不會(huì)立即大把大把賺取鈔票，因?yàn)橼A得大量讀者得花時(shí)間，甚至還得先破費(fèi)點(diǎn)宣傳費(fèi)。
