This is the only subreddit where I hope to find people who might understand. After working on 3 shitty full-time jobs I have come to realization that I don't want to work 8 hours per day 5 days every week.
It probably sounds like I am lazy or childish. Well, maybe I am. However, I still want to work, just on my terms.
I want to work either:
4-6 hours per day in office (not perfect, but better than 8-9 hours)
complete remote work from home (still not perfect, I would like to meet people and see new places occasionally)
free schedule that allows me to combine office with remote work whenever I want as long as I get things done (perfect, but almost un-achievable, I've seen only a few jobs like that and they turned me down)
I've been trying to find such a job for 5 months already. Still no luck. Meanwhile I work for peanuts as translator on fiverr and do some things for my friend in real estate agency also as freelancer-copywriter.
I don't want to give up on my terms. Life with full-time work seems even worse than my current jobless life in poverty. However I've fallen into depression. I feel like a complete failure because of my ability to generate good income.
What do you think? I know that almost everyone would just tell me to suck it up, stop whining and accept that full-time job is an only option that exist for someone like me who isn't cut out to be a big-shot programmer or youtube blogger or rock-star musician or I dont who, someone else who might live on his terms.
Am I wasting my life? I am 24 and I am terrified when I think about my future.
