If you try something new, you are considered “bold” or “adventurous.”

If you give it up after a while, and try something different, you are considered a “dilettante.”

If you stick with it, but do it in your spare time, you are pursuing a “hobby.”

If you are generating assets, and hope to cash in some day, you are making an “investment.”

If you are working full time for remuneration, you are pursuing a “career.”

If you do something systematically, skillfully, and with discipline, you are a “professional.”

If you are doing something because you can, you might be “reckless.”

If you are doing it without any regard to success or failure, but simply to express yourself, you are pursuing a “calling.”

The only question that remains is: how would you describe what you do today, and are you looking to change how it needs to be described?

Okay, that is two questions, but you get the point.
