Yes, but don't let it consume you.

If you are passionate about web development, go for it!

If you treat web development just as a job, maybe not for you.

If you work in an environment with harsh deadlines and long hours, do something else.

If you want to learn something new, go ahead.

If you aren't practicing any other hobbies or interests, maybe do something else.

If you are sacrificing being with loved ones, limit the coding to work.

No hard and fast answer. Do what is right for you.

I know many people who do just that; when asked, they say they picked web development for the money only.

And I agree with most of the things you mentioned. Thank you for the input.
