I quit my last real full time job in 2015 (CTO at my own tech startup with around 130 employees at the time), with no plans whatsoever. I felt burned out and wanted some rest and a new career path. The first project I tried was writing a book. A few months in I realized I didn't enjoy writing as much as I thought I would, but I found myself taking longer and longer breaks to go out photographing with my camera. Photography was something I had never done earlier in life, and it came pretty unexpectedly for me that I would enjoy it so much. Photography quickly became an obsession, while my book project never sold well at all. I took a couple of part time jobs to sustain myself while starting a youtube channel about photography in 2017. Now 4 years later I have quit all part time engagements and can actually kind of make a living from my youtube channel, which is pretty amazing. I am so very happy and thankful for where I am today, as I truly love my new career. I would have never found it if I didn't give myself a year to explore different possibilities.
