For all you career pilots: if you had the choice to either keep your job as a pilot, or have a "day job" that pays well---not superstar great, but enough that you could afford your own 6-8 seater twin engine (prop) and just fly on your own time, wherever you like, which would you choose?

(I ask because I'm trying to get a sense of what aviation would be like as a career. I already know I LOVE flying recreationally). But I get to choose where I fly, when I fly, etc. So I'm not sure if doing it "as a job" would drastically change things Would love some opinions).

Thanks in advance
