People who left the 9-5 grind to pursue your dream job, how'd that work out?

PNW's thread has me curious if there's any more of you on here that took the chance. What's your story?

It’s been great. I’m making $18k per month as a double diamond seller of It Works!

What if I told you there was a hot chocolate that tastes great and can help you lose weight?

I only went for my dream job.
Never had a 9 to 5.

Im very close to buying a boat to live on and moving to Key West. Working in a marina or bartending for for work. Nothing keeping me grinding the way I am.

I make over $500k playing video games so it's pretty good. I even play with celebrities like Drake.

said just about everyone that lives in Key West, unless you've already made your pesos you can't make enough bartending down there to even cover slip rental

9-5 would be my dream job.

Still searching. So far I would say trying to better myself was a huge mistake.

You teach now? (if you've forgotten who I am, you were my TA for Paleo and you were the freshman TA when I was at senior field camp)

Weren't you a trainer for the football team? If you're who I think you are, me and a few other guys used to wear hard hats and chant your name during warm up drills.
Edit: I'm just in this thread to make people question their anonymity on a message board...

Excellent, man. Congratulations.

I don’t think people have “ dream jobs “ as the reality of anything repeated over time becomes just another day. I think people , through trial and error, find the best possible situation that brings meaning to their life and that improves their situation in some way.
I have “ dream situation “ for ME. Some would kill for it and others would scoff at it . But it fits ME. So yes, doing my own thing, creating my own gig, has been awesome. I only got here though, by suffering in the conventional work environment and doing an honest, and I mean totally honest, assessment of myself . A self- intervention of sorts. A “ you are better than this” moment that really made me seek a change of direction.

I went the opposite direction. I left radio and started working 'regular' jobs. After a decade or so in the business, I said "frick it".
The bills have to be paid.

What’s 9-5?
I work a lot more than that. Thankfully I like what I do.
