The fun comes first, then the money. Many of the things I've played with in my free time have turned out to be useful in later professional work.

Both. It's a requirement for me that it be both fun and provide a good living. If it didn't deliver on either of those I'd have a different job.

I do both. For fun is to learn and grow. For money cuz, well, I need money. Sometimes the two overlap.

For fun.. I need to get a job in the web industry though as that's where my talent and interests lies.
