Just out of curiosity, how happy are you with your career?

Why don't you just start doing some other stuff as you expressed?



I wish that I could take a 30% pay cut and work 30% less and do something else with the time. Or even a 50% pay cut for 50% less time.

I like programming, but I find sitting in an office chair 50 hours a week incredibly boring, frustrating, socially stifling

I don't know what else I could do, having no experience and would have to go back to minimum wage. Odds are I might just get bored with whatever that would be after a short while


Im in no position to recommend anything, but the 4 Hour Work Week has opened my eyes, maybe it can do something for you too
