Finally

I made my first attempt at quitting the software industry. Ended in failure. Disappointing.

There's one thing I know for sure. Probably the only thing. I DON'T WANT TO BE THE TYPICAL SOFTWARE ENGINEER. Why? Because I don't want to be part of the herd. Because it isn't really fun. Because I don't have all the freedom I need to have fun.

My definition of an ideal job (which is something that changes by the minute for me :P) should be something where you do something fun. Something that makes you as happy as when you solve a tough puzzle. Something that doesn't take all of your time. Something that makes you improve all the time. Something that's always challenging. Something that lets me take a (relatively) long break whenever I want. Whenever the mountains become irresistible.

Well, so what now? Should I continue to try to quit industry? What should I do once I quit? Or should I try this an year more? Well, whatever. Life's a mess!
