Yes, and no.

Some jobs were hell and some were amazing, but I was always happiest cooking for the family (kids are grown and gone, so now it's mostly the two of us).

I like the diversity of what I can prep at home, sometimes (when we're flat out at the restaurant) seeing what i can week out that's good with no ingredients.

Basically it's the different challenges at home vs. the daily grind that make the difference for me. Some days I like the consistency that work brings, and sometimes it's just something to check off a list so I can get home and do 'some real food'.

DevOps here. I still really like programming and systems administration, but I'm so burnt out I can't do anything anymore after 8h+ of work. It has gotten to the point that I hate computers so much, I favor going out into nature over fixing my broken Linux install of my desktop for several months now. I'd love to write software again but my brain can't do it.

Not really. It means I have access to devices and tools I simply could not afford as a hobbyist. It means I can go to trade fairs and seminars paid for by my boss. It means I can get materials for my hobby at large customer discount prices.

I think the difference is that it was already your passion rather than a hobby.
