So heres a hypothetical situation:

Youre almost 36 and you have three career paths from which to choose:

1) Take a corporate job that is challenging and very high paying but that will make a serious dent in your quality of life and doesnt have any exit strategy except climbing the ladder and fattening the 401k.

2) Go work for a startup in a job that is less challenging, less interesting, and lower paying than the corporate gig but has a much less deleterious effect on your quality of life and at least holds out the small chance that the company might blow up and you could make a nice chunk of change.

3) Make the serious changes to your habits and behaviors required to be successful at the freelancer/dream chaser thing youve been doing, even though two years of solid evidence strongly suggest that you are too unmotivated and easily distracted to succeed in such an unstructured environment.

So what you do in this purely hypothetical situation?

I might write a story about it wink

But if those are the choices, I choose #2; because it sounds as if it might be a job which could be extended upward if things went well, but without the need to do so. Also, quality of life is worth a lot.
And if it's really dull as ditchwater, maybe the dreamchaser thing would start to look attractive again tongue
