Shrug Job

It's highly likely I'm going to say "screw it" and drop out of engineering next year altogether. I could consult for various design firms, teaching their staff how to design stuff the right way. But, frankly, I'd charge a high fee. So...may not be viable. So, to properly shrug I'm looking at 1-working at a buddy's burger joint. Best burger joint in the region. Little place that also has a great selection of beers on tap. 2-Work with a buddy who's started a small rental management company for short-term rentals. His business is taking off and he's running some of my real estate. I'd clean places, maybe help manage the reservations and answer questions. 3-Coach high school golf. Two seasons each year. Doing the organizing. More mental coaching than swing coaching. Plenty of outdoor time. Two seasons off for reading, hiking and drinking beer.

    Hmmm, my first thought is to combine #1 and #3 and do a Hugh Akston where you have a nice job and can introduce young people to Atlas Shrugged and from there...

    Good luck on your shrugging, however you end up doing it.

    I shrugged my engineering job many years ago, (best move I ever made) consulted a few more years (on my terms) and then totally retired after that.

    Life's too short to be enslaved to a job you hate.
