I'm getting closer to it everyday. It's a long journey, but it feels like the right one, 7 years after college graduation.

Really interesting, but: "If you do really like what you're doing it doesn't matter what it is, you can eventually [...] become a master on it [...] and then you'll be able to get a good fee for whatever it is." Unfortunately IT DOES MATTER WHAT IT IS. You need society's appreciation to get them to give you a fee for it.

Don't let poets lie to you.

You aren't thinking big enough. I'm going to make a homestead and live a more free lifestyle instead of the corporate grind.
