More money and work that will require critical thinking. Here's my situation: I've been working in my previous field for the last few years at a minimal salary due to the job market. I lost my job recently. Being frugal, I have the finances saved to start a micro startup, or I can just get another underpaying job.
- patio11 14y agoWell, good news, both of those are achievable. There are many people who run small software/etc businesses, including at incomes which would be reasonable for professionals in the US (and points below and beyond that). The work does tend to be much better than a rote job, at least in terms of intellectual engagement. You also get quite a bit of freedom in how you arrange your day-to-day affairds.
- orangethirty 14y agoYes, freedom is also a side benefit. I don't really have to do much with my micros. Very little code maintenance. Actually spend more time answering emails than anything, but its about 30 minutes a day, if that.
