I wouldn't worry about labels such as entrepreneur or hacker. It seems your life could use more balance? So taking your skills and getting a job could be the path to happiness and balance and independence. Who knows, a side project later down the road could bear fruit. Wishing you success.
- billpatrianakos 15y agoAgreed. I chose to get into business because I'm so far behind in school that I can't really get a job that pays me what I get now without that degree. I'm kind of between a rock and a hard place. I make less than a college grad but more than I would without the degree. I'm a CIS major now, successfully completing the program in a year or two, and I definitely a, keeping my options open. I have to admit though, that despite times like these where it sucks bad, there are other times it's really rewarding and dare I say addictive.
- devs1010 15y agoYou shouldn't think that you can't get a job without a degree that pays better than what you make now as I bet you can, unless you live in a really small market where there is little demand for developers. I know this from first-hand experience, you've just got to keep pushing yourself to learn more about software design, etc and keep going to interviews and someone will give you a shot. This will accelerate your learning as well, by working with other developers.
