I've never worked for a marketing company and I hope never to! I probably work a lot less than I theoretically could as a result.
Re nonprofit work - actually I should probably push harder on that. I reckon I could do some work on the side for free or at a reduced rate, but identifying local businesses that need that help is difficult (I'm not the kind of person to just rock up and be like, 'hey, want some computer stuff guys?') :P
Which brings me to a good point, actually. I personally think that - in the social circles I'm in anyway - the barrier for most people to doing stuff like all of the potential job ideas people have posted here - is not money, but will.
Because it's actually really hard. I have enough savings to not really need to think about immediate profit. But formulating a plan, getting up every morning, working towards it, having enough fun that you don't burn out, eating well, doing all of that stuff at the same time is actually _really difficult_. The structure of a stable career, as stifling and frustrating as it can be, is really helpful to a lot of people.
