The arbitrary 8.5-9 hour workday drives me nuts, because a lot of the time, I really only have 3 or 4 hours worth of work to do. I generally work quickly and I value my time. Can I make a decent living doing something that gives me this kind of flexibility?

    There are different categories of freedom.

    Some people feel need to be at a desk, others feel need for fresh air daily.

    Some prefer salary, others prefer independent-contractor.

    Life’s certainly longer than this-quarter, so why not consider investing in long term solutions?

    As the internet memes point-out:

    “if you’re going to live to be 30 anyways, why not be 30 and a doctor and have your life set from then on?”

    ( something like that, some mom got her daughter to earn her MD, on this logic, & good for her, though I’d not want to be in medical-culture … ever, actually … family was.

    I’d prefer the trades, now. )
