I have this idea where I can work my neck off for 4-6 months (including weekends; essentially eat, sleep, restroom, and work 24x7). And then I need the rest of the year off.
I'm not sure how to find this kind of work. Some have advised that I should seek contract work. But contract work is hell, no thanks.
- stronglikedan 6y agoAside from contract work, I think you've pretty much limited your choices to consultant or commercial fisherman.
- ghaff 6y agoEven consultant is tough. You have a business that you need to run and typically can't just disappear for 6 months at a time and largely ignore everything going on in the industry. It's actually almost certainly easier to consult part-time (whether you intend it to be part-time or not!) than it is to go 120% for 6 months and then rapidly ratchet it to zero for another 6. I think the only person I know who has done something like this was a lawyer who worked as a contract lawyer for some big finance company (I think) for about half the year. Which doesn't sound like a bad gig. But it's hard for most white collar jobs.
