If I get bored of that then I'll just make my own business which doesn't have to be profitable, since it will just be enjoyable and a way to waste my time, rather than work for rich assholes.

This makes the most sense to me. I need something. My field is in dire need of more people so I'm not terribly concerned about taking someone's job, but I'm also a long way from retiring, and who knows maybe the world won't exist in 30 years.

Anyway, when I have periods of slow work (independent contractor), I feel like my motivation suffers. When I have regular work, I'm also more on at home, cooking, cleaning, etc. When I don't have my work to keep my focus, I lose focus totally. Definitely a me problem, but my solution is to just do my job and things work out. Maybe it's a stress thing.

Have a nice day!
