I entirely understand your point.
I made the mistake of turning my hobby into a jobby once and I'll probably never do that again.
There is something about time-frames and commitments that kind of sucks all the magic out of something fun. Especially when you introduce middle management and customers.
I think it's mostly that you go from doing something you like to doing that same thing the way someone else likes it. Oh, and that person is retarded, and arrogant. And they're paying you so you can't just tell them to fuck off unless you want to lose a client/job.
True creativity requires the ability to say "No. Fuck you."
Yeah the phrase "Do what you love" is never a good thing because more than naught you end up resenting it because of how stressful it ends up becoming.
FYI that literally means "shit" in some places :p Which I guess can be appropriate at times.
Management, especially middle, in general these days seems to be nothing more than mediocre promotion status for those who were well behaved Peters to the point someone thought they should be given an award. Far too many end up in positions they are not only unsuited for but also unqualified for. Too many use their new position of power as a means to throw their weight around and from personal experience it does nothing but isolate them from a once inclusive circle of coworkers.
As for the creativity aspect, if a creator is lucky they will have a customer who is open to revision of a job as it progresses should the need arise. An end user who understands the limits of product design, in a way that also requires a suitable explanation from the creator, and is flexible enough to accept changes to original proposals can very often be a godsend over the complete braindead general public.
Yes I've worked in retail, how did you know? >.<
