Ask HN: What are your long-term career goals?

[htmlproplus]

[unfixed]

To be working in a flexible and stress free environment, pursuing interesting but not strenuous challenges while having enough time to enjoy the good things in life: friends, family, discovering the world, wasting time without pressuring obligations.

[chistev]

To be an established freelance web developer that I can live completely off the money I make doing it, comfortably.

Or, to be employed as a web developer working remotely and making enough money that I can live completely off the money I make doing it, comfortably.

Then start my own Pharmacy.

[badpun]

To not have to come back to work ever again.

[chistev → badpun]

You and me both.

[neverClicking → badpun]

Just don't leave and you can never return.

[badpun → neverClicking]

Too late, I already left.

[wruza]

Either enough money to never work again, or enough money for years off between work bursts.

I don’t mean any disrespect to regular work-retirement lifestyle (huge respect to people who do things instead of making sounds with their mouth (except for singers)), but to me it’s a huge risk. Employers and govt will screw you over without thinking twice, e.g. in case of illness or life changes that make you temporarily less able than they expected.

[solardev]

To not be homeless again
