Make synth building your career.

>Is synth building still fun when you do it full time / overtime ??

It certainly can be.  It does help to try to keep it in perspective.  I try
to think of it as something that's grown out of my DIY interests, rather
than something that's competing with them.

I have found that some of my non-technical hobbies have seen a little more
attention as well.  Lots of miles on the bicycle, and I've been hosting a
radio show, as well as trying hard to do more playing/recording of the
instruments.

As for my personal, at-home DIY efforts, there are parts of that that I
don't get much at the office.  I'm in software, so if I'm using a soldering
iron or oscilloscope, we're having some pretty serious problems.  They're
friends I see on weekends, now.  :>

All in all, I'd say it's still fun.  There are still those moments when you
cross your fingers, throw the switch, and whisper to yourself "I sure hope
this works."
