Investing is hard and I tend to think that a job as a stable income source is way better. I just prefer it that way and I leave open Hive as a way to earn an income in the future. It's not impossible but it might take a while before I can even get close to that level.
Jobs are great - especially good jobs that bring value outside the paycheck. It is more stable and rewarding, and gives the opportunity to invest and lose, without having to worry about next month's rent.
