Re: Advice Thread

I sympathize, but I see a few issues here.

* You need a job, right?
* But you can't get a job with the degree you have, so arguably ANY job is better than nothing since it would get you closer to financial independence and possibly relocating.
* Unless your creative projects earn you a decent amount of money (i.e. not just beer money) they are not as important as finding gainful employment, sorry. That's what weekends and free time are for.
* CS is one of the few jobs where it's possible to telecommute. How hard have you been pursuing this online?

Honestly, it sounds like you've already talked yourself out of this for Reasons and not all of them are very sound. If you're happy with your current situation, then great. But it doesn't sound like you are? I mean... do you have a better plan that you're actively working on? Because if not:

1) get a job
2) save your money
3) move out/relocate to a better job market to pursue the career you REALLY want

sounds like a reasonable plan.

I wrote a long comment and then realized you said it all better than I was going to. So, +1 to all of this.

I don't want to sound like an asshole, but OP, you sound really young here. I'm really wondering what kind of job you expect to get elsewhere, because most employers aren't okay with you browsing online or knitting at work, even if you're technically 'doing nothing'. Thinking negatively about a well-paying job because you won't have as much time for your personal creative projects? Because you'll be expected to dress professionally? Because you want to get a job "on your own merit"?

You know what doesn't leave time for creative projects? Working shitty jobs and overtime because you floundered around unemployed looking for a fun/easy job and passed up opportunities to get a GOOD job.

And I sympathize about the social anxiety. I have to talk to people a lot at work and it sucks. But that's not a good enough reason to pass up good money, imo/ime. Talking to lots of people is a requirement at a lot of jobs.
