I am starting out in the development world. I simply want a job that will push me to the point where I'm confident with my programming and design skills. After that I want to freelance, so as to give me more time to concentrate on the mountain of things that interest me. Or work for two years, save up money, then don't work for 6 months to a year (my living costs and needs are very low) so, again, I can work on the mountain of things that interest me. Ultimately I have decided I will to work to live, and hopefully not work too much so I have to some time to live. Even if I succeed at creating a startup it will only be a means to a financial end. I'd quite like to live like a victorian gentleman, but filling my days with cognitive pursuits instead of prancing around London.
