Instead, get a part-time contracting position doing software development. I did this while I was building my startup. I worked around 20 hours per week and had the rest of the week to do what I wanted. I quit contracting about 9 months ago.
It worked pretty well.
The problem is that the only jobs that aren't mentally or physically demanding will be low-paid and most likely boring to you.
- telemator 12y agoThis is a good idea and I've thought about it, but it's not easy getting a part time job around here (Sydney). But I'll look into it.
- eswat 12y agoIt’s good timing to take a look at the Seeking Freelancer thread on HN. You may not find a client close to you but as long as you can deliver a project in exchange for what you’re looking for, then it’s a good deal.
- telemator 12y agoExcellent. Somehow I never noticed these in my feed.
- brandonlipman 12y agoI would definitely be curious where that thread is. Do you have a URL?
