I'd be more at peace with my job if the commute and the employment status changed. (Money isn't an issue in that regard--I wouldn't turn down a raise, certainly, but I'd be able to budget a smaller amount than I'm making.) But, I don't know that I'd really *love* it. The chances are that, like most jobs that don't involve creating new programs or leading teams, it's going to continue on its march toward drudge work. And, the commute isn't going to change unless I move--which would raise my living expenses considerably. (If I lived on my own out here I'd probably be trying to move into a cabin in the Santa Cruz mountains, somewhat southwest of where I am now, which would make a commute to There evven longer.)
This perception is probably the main thing that gives me a push toward freelance work, perhaps something akin to what Scotfox seems to be contemplating. I'd really like the idea of work that ranges from quick "house calls" to short-term contracts. Of course, I'd really like the idea of not netting less than $2000 a month. So. :)
