^ Yep, I think elphenor's first statement is a bit too sweeping to stand up to much scrutiny. In one sense, outside of literal slavery, any job is "on your own terms" because you walk in the door and agree to do it.

^ This statement holds up better, imo, though personally I'd take out the word "creatively" as that only applies to some hobbies. To me, the defining things about hobbies are:
i) you choose what you want to do
ii) don't get paid for them
iii) you can stop when you want.
