The job market is not great right now, but sounds like you could have moved up last year.
> Glad to work for WAY less
That might be the issue, that kind of work is worth more.
> instead of going to college
It's fine if you just want to have work. But won't cut it if you'd like a coveted job, as your resume is filed to /dev/null within minutes. Ask me how I know.

- mixmastamyk 3y agoMoved up to a higher position/salary/rate. "More work than I can do" ---> raise your rates; econ 101. I recommend the patio11 piece about charging more, should be easy to find at the search box at the bottom of the page. But as mentioned, at times of slowdown expect a lower upside.
- darigo 3y agoOh yeah, I understand, last year I was indeed making boatloads of money. Right now I'm focused on something other than making tons of money tbh. There's a job I covet, so I've been just focusing on maxxing relevant skills so I can join this elite club of extremely cool people working on this very cool thing. But after that I'm gonna go back to money, for sure. Btw I love your blog. That same essay "How to be a hacker" is the one I consulted as a teenager, which led me to switch from QBASIC (my first lang, on the recommendation of an IRC channel that was probably trolling me) to Python.
