For those who are playing out (gigging, entertaining), would you do it only for the fun/passion of entertaining, but without the big (OK, medium) $$$? With all the costs (time and money), it's as enormous investment... and life's short.

I've often wondered about this, so here's the question:

Asuming there was a reasonable alternative for paying the bills, would you entertain, *doing only the fun gigs of your choice*, if the only $ compensation was to cover costs?
