Me, personally, I love art. I draw, I paint and am currently trying to figure out this whole digital drawing/painting thing. (I've never been to an art school or even looked at one since Disney went digital... my dreams, they crushed them.) It's interesting and fun and allows me an escape from other things. For me it's a much needed hobby and one I've thought about doing commissions with to make a few extra bucks. That being said, I've hesitated on that because I know me. I learned early on in life that if I love something, I should not do it for a career. I burn out and my initial love and joy turns to a "have to" that doesn't appeal to me. I "have to" work for a living. I don't want to "have to" read, draw, paint or anything else I do for the enjoyment of NOT being at work.
