It's a pretty obsolete hobby, as we have computers and printers that can do the exact same thing in a fraction of the time. I know people do it as an art form, which is fine I guess, though you're not gonna sell prints, get published, or end up in a museum no matter how good you are at it.
Someone is definitely making a buck with all those calligraphy books and supplies.
Do you measure all your hobbies with possibility of making money? I mean, that is not a hobby, that's work then.
Same reason I don't exercise: I'm never going to make money with my running skills.
