Early Retirement Extreme Forums

I have made that table you suggested @jacob, if I have time I will paste it in.

A side note on time management: from today onwards I am working a Swiss working week in Scotland. That means starting about 8am with about 1-1:30h break at noon for lunch music and siesta, then working until more or less 5pm. This way I save a day in Scotland and work only four days a week. And I also get used to the Swiss way of working. I still plan to work (on myself) in the non working day.

Now being older and a bit wiser, I insist on people considering all three variables: employment, interest, and talent.

Anyone tell me I am very "talented" with art and anything about technology.
Given this, I don't want to pass the rest of my life inside a studio painting or coding, even tho i show talent for it.

As other have said

In other words, music provided me with a bunch of social and cultural capital that engineering wouldn't have.

I strive for that social capital. Yes I really know what it means, knowing people opens door to your life, but also make you in the position of having "too many interest" and you don't know to pick up the right one.
This is also why the career I'm looking for, should be compatibile with "the many interest I will encounter" while taking into account

Also I think it is worth to appreciate life is very long to be doing the same thing for its entirety.

this.

I think having the "social" part in your job, it's the important part too.
