Could not agree more RoyDal, set up a side line while you are still working for the man. If it’s something you love and are passionate about two to three years of hard graft in your own time, weekends, evenings whatever. Should be enough to quit the nine to five (or is that the seven to six now?) and go it on your own. Take charge and do it yourself, it’s what men where born to do. I spent my twenties making someone else better off when at the end of the day they didn’t give two f~~~s about me, constantly thinking “f~~~ I can do this on my own” but not having the b~~~~ to take the leap. But yeah don’t expect them to be looking out for your best interest, ever. It’s just how it is, and has been my whole working life. I think it changed in the 80’s, that what I hear from guys who have 20 years more in the workplace than me anyway.

Sandman summarizes my entire corporate career. He nails it.

[– Deleted on Request –Spectator 936]

I quit my teaching job over 12 years ago for 2 reasons:  I reached a minimum net financial worth and, frankly, what my students didn’t do to me, my colleagues and the administrators accomplished.  It took me 2 years to get the stress of that nut farm out of my system.

 

I was an immigrant kid raised by parents who endured and survived WW II.  As a result, I was always careful with my money, even during times when I was on the dole or had next to no income whatsoever.  I continued that after I resigned and I’m worth much more now.  I’m far from rolling in wealth, but I live comfortably and can still pay my rent and my bills.

 

Not working for anyone else has given me the sort of freedom I was always looking for.  I work whenever I can on the research I started while I was still a grad student.  When weather permits, I set up my amateur radio station outside and go on the air, usually over a satellite.

 

If, however, anybody’s interested in my services, they can find me, but they better have something good to offer me.
