I believe this is where hobbies are an very important role in our lives. My current job has nothing to do with my first long term job i did. In those 9 years i did that job i learned, through my hobbies, that i was good at understanding technology and how they worked/ticked. “fingerspitzengefühl” as the germans would call it.

This has resulted in me doing evening classes and switching jobs in a completely different field with a completely different description.

Would i have known without my hobbies? Absolutely not.
