If I ever find something that pays enough to do what I want and offers a nice work life balance my ladder climbing will stop there. I have no career goals beyond that. I want to pursue my personal interests and help others learn. That’s it. Unfortunately I can’t figure out how to monetize my personal interests in a way that won’t make me hate my life.
I am legitimately jealous of people who manage to work a job doing something they actually like. They seem so much better off? My dad is one of those - he’ll retire and come back for fun.
I’m finally in a position that I can say “I don’t hate,” pays well, and I get a pension but holy shit I still occasionally get the “Monday blues.”

When someone asks me what I do, I list hobbies. I’m not my job.

The second that I can retire, I’m fucking OUT.
