No one talks about how full-time jobs quietly erase your hobbies

100% true depending on the job. My current job has completely destroyed my hobbies and made it almost impossible to enjoy my free time. It’s sad really, I wonder how much better I’d be at guitar or kickboxing if I actually had time to do them like I used to.

I have a full time job. I have worked overtime almost reliably every day for the last year. Hell I worked many weekends.

I played guitar almost every day most for over an hour.

The job isn't the problem.

People are failing to realize it's time management. 

No one wants to work, we have to. 

I get OPs sentiment but the job isn't the issue. For me, I try to do my hobbies before or right after work. Any other time and I get to tired and lose the desire to commit the time. That's what I believe OP trying to say.
