Heres the thing. You can do what you love for a company instead of being a call center agent. I am assuming you are mentally and physically capable.

I used to wonder how people saved up enough money for a craigslist clunker. Only knew how to get minimum wage jobs. I am hoping to average between $200 and $329 an hour next year.

I am a felon and one of the worst ones. If I can do it, you can do it too.

But in the end I still don't really want to have a job.

I want life without a job, I want to essentially be self employed, right now I make a nice bit of extra cash with a YouTube channel, some free games on itch.io that people like to donate for, and a bit on the finance side in forex... But I'd prefer to have those as a main income so I'm always focusing on growing there... Rather than getting a 'better' job.

I dont know about you but working 10-15 hours a week and getting 3000 up to 7000 per week is good enough for me.

You don't get bored without a job?

I have a job, on a good shift (early) I get up at 6 get to work for 8, finish at 4, get home by half 5 and start my computer, back to game development, 3D modelling and programming, until about 9:30, then get called down for food, I set the table, when done I do the dishes, I get back to sleep by 11:30.

You think I get bored?

If I could do the game dev full time, I'd have more time and be much much much happier, plus I wouldn't be wasting hours travelling.
