A lot of ladies will know this. They sit down, make a cup of coffee and put on some music. Until now, it\’s just relaxation. But once they get their hands on knitting, it can be called a hobby. The knitting itself. It\’s not about the profit itself, because that would be work in that case. It\’s about the joy of having succeeded, and the finished sweater or scarf can be worn by someone, someone who will enjoy it even more.
Of course, there are many such hobbies. They don\’t have to create something, as in the case of knitting. The point is that it should give us pleasure. It\’s about relaxing. And as long as something comes out of it, it doesn\’t matter. So making small objects out of plywood, for example, is also a hobby. And it\’s all the more interesting because it can bring financial profit. Well, isn\’t it a job then? It\’s not, because it\’s usually only sold for the price of the material, and there\’s no profit in the work itself.
Something similar can be done by fishermen. A great many men have this hobby. Those who are lucky or can do it will certainly give or sell some of those fish to someone. And if they get money out of it…
Yes, it\’s a bit questionable, but if a man goes fishing all year round and then sells something, it\’s certainly not for profit, or any kind of gain. I have a friend who says that a carp or other fish he catches costs him about seven thousand. I don\’t fish, so I don\’t know the prices, so I don\’t know if this friend is lying a little. So if the young man ever sells a carp for a hundred, he certainly won\’t buy a new car with it and can\’t be considered a professional.
Fisherman don\’t have it easy either. He has to pay for everything, and from what I hear he wants to fish somewhere, so I guess that\’s true about the seven thousand carp. But an amateur fisherman also has to know how to spot fish. If he can\’t tell a grayling from a tractor, he\’s out of luck and won\’t get a fishing license.
