If you don't love what you do, there are these things called jobs that basically just pay you to put in a days work and then go home. Starting a business is way too much trouble if you're just trying to get paid.

Does that still hold true if you could pull in $5,000/25,000/50,000 per month from running a business you don't love? I'd love to run a business I'm not particularly passionate about if it made me an extra $5,000/month.

HN's obsession/groupthink about "profit is pointless/evil unless you're changing the world and love your job" is scary.
