Wanna run with my crew huh? Rule cyberspace and crunch numbers like I do?

Maybe do wood working all day. Well not all day I'd get tired, maybe 4 hours or even 2. I only wanna do stuff I'm interested in too no commissions. Also I would have a really well equipped shop that no one else uses, with a dust free chill area when I want to take a break. It would be next to my home, so I could walk next door to it, and it would be rural so I have lots of space to relax, but also near a train stop that takes me right to downtown when I want to go out. No one else rides the train and there are no other stops.

its the relentless monetization that spoils everything.

I used to love writing code. I hate it now, and now i love woodworking but I would never do it for a living because I know just like God made little green apples that as soon as I had a loving customer that my love for woodworking would start to die.

"Senior Fellow" or whatever the hell it's called where you're an expert and you don't work that much but people listen to what you have to say and respect you, with ample paid sabbaticals.

Making nice furniture by hand and selling to a local consignment shop for extra cash when the mood suits me.

A second-hand book-seller. Despite what newspapers (:ironicat:) have been saying for yearsdecades it's a decent living if you're in a city and know what's what.

e: There's a old book shop owner I follow on Facebook and he says the media keep wanting to interview him about how books and second-hand books in general are dying and he's always like "the gently caress I just opened two new locations and got a new warehouse lol??"

They all also sell on-line. But there's a good overlap between "people who like to buy books" and "people who like to be able to walk into a shop to buy things".
