even if I was debt-free, I wouldn't have enough to be work-free.
For sure I prefer to have something to work on and I am not nearly disciplined enough to work for myself. Teaching is just the right amount of balance to both, which keeps me excited and invested for each new day! I just with the schedule was a bit more relenting.. 4 days, shorter hours, oh well.. maybe off to tutoring only after the next BTC pump. This is one way I could teach on my own schedule, but healthcare and insurance is such a hassle without a company providing for you. America!
It is my fault in many ways that I am in this position
I've felt that quite a few times in my employment journey, ranging from TV to legal weed to trading collectibles to teaching/tutoring.
I wasn't much to play by the rules or listen to authority either, despite enjoying my time earning university degrees. Corporate life has never cut it for me and I was barely hanging on with the wild nightlife while working the 6p - 2a night shift as a TV editor/producer for NBA-TV. Something about working in a classroom just feels so right, I enjoy passing skills onto eager students.
I am confident you will land on your feet, but for now just enjoy the holidays without worrying about those price tags so much. You can do that next year!
This would be pretty good gig work I think. I am hoping that my business will build to make ends meet enough, and then keep providing no matter what happens in crypto. I like the consulting work!
We often make decisions on career about what we think we will like to do, or for the money - not really what we are better suited to and fulfilled by.
Exactly! I am okay for a time just chilling and enjoying.
Funemployment!
