No physical work, that's for sure.

I enjoy cooking, maybe a cook. But I also hate how much time it consumes of the day, the whole shopping and cooking ritual every day.

Idk if I'd enjoy it doing professionally. In school I picked the cooking and uh.. housecare, like knitting and all that? class instead of the technics class, because I didn't like doing physical work. Nice side effect, all the girls were there too and I got to cook and bake delicious stuff instead of boring holes into wood or sawing or all the boring uninteresting stuff I never cared about.

All the boys were interested in cars, I didn't care about them. Care were just tools in my book. I guess I'm a feminine man, altough I certainly look like a bear. Or maybe I just pick the way of least resistance or shall I say with most benefits.

In retrospect all the friends and contacts said "you're doing it right".

I just had to think about it today, I had a friend how did everything "the way it should be done"TM. Finished base school, was a trainee, got a proper job, invested in house savings, went to church, etc.

I was the complete opposite. Rebel. Went to 5 schools, got kicked out of training, never got a drivers license, did drugs and tried the life of the party and entertainment. I was a looser, still am kind of, if you go by his criteria.
Then I landed a programming job in 2001 and earned 150% of what this former friend was earning lmao. He hated me foe that I believe. He was so jealous.

Well my records got stolen and I never continued my DJing and music career.
So I had to go with the other thing I knew, computing. I was cracking games at the age of 12 and wrote and linked cracktros in asm on the c64 at the age of 13.
That became less relevant in my mid teens where I just loved scratching, rap music, classical music, any kind of music. I started composing on the Amiga with Fasttracker. But well since this path ended later...
I was one of the first people to write cheats for the 1st MMORPG Meridian 59 and learn about all the principles, networking, objects, inhertiances and whatnot.

When no one wanted to employ me I became self-employed, learned PHP MySQL HTML CSS Linux. Created websites with adsense on them, had a shared hosting company.

Nowadays I'm almost back to square one, only with the knowledge to create in the "virtual world". And I ask myself what else would I do? I don't know.
It's the question I've been asking myself. If I had a driver's license, I'd drive stuff or people from A to B. But that would get boring eventually, because I sometimes really love to create and build, only not physically.

What instead? I have a talent for languages. Maybe gardening? But that's physical work. I'm good at delegating. You do this, you do that, Yes boss.
But I hate leading. Idk, I really don't know. Maybe I should produce music again.

I development I'm motivated by the new problem that needs to be solved.
I'm not interested solving the same problem again and again.
I don't enjoy only frontend or only backend. It needs to be both.
I love seeing things grow, but not too slowly.
Ideally I would not work and live off investment returns, but I don't have that kind of money.

Oooh I remembered I really loved book-keeping activa saldi I enjoyed that very much.
