Consider writing your own software. Maybe something that scratches an itch, related to one of your hobbies, or a need you've observed in the market.


My problem is the amount of money I would make in a year selling the software I make for my hobbies would likely be less than one paycheck at a normal job.


I write my own software compulsively every weekend and holiday, often at the expense of housework and personal relationships.

It just has no path towards paying the bills or putting my teens through university.
