What's the Difference Between a Hobby and a Trade?

A trade is something that you learn, and then whether or not you use it as a business or as a hobby is totally up to you. So even though you might be only a week end blacksmith, the fact that you know how to do that means you still have a trade. No one can take it away from you. It's buried in your sinew and your bones, and it's just part of that hand knowledge. There's power in that. That translates, again, to just self confidence. I mean, i started having fantasies of, maybe i should take a building art's programme, cause i don't want to be dependent on somebody else to build my house.
