Ask HN: How to Live and Learn?

7 pointsby jereeesover 4 years ago
Constantly refrain from making posts because I believe everything has been asked already. Or will be, but somebody probably asked it better already.<p>Did not graduate from college, been working for 7 years as SDE&#x2F;SDM. Would like to stop working and start studying as in, reading for 4-6 hours straight&#x2F;day. I don’t want to be poor and passive income is low. What high pay low effort&#x2F;automatable job can I take? Was thinking testing or quality assurance at a local software company. Remote job might work but would need to be preferably EU located.<p>Somewhat decent setup at home but no isolated room for work&#x2F;study reduces flow state bursts. Should I look into renting an office? Partner manages to study on the couch or kitchen table but I find it difficult to focus so easily.

This post is all over the place but I&#x27;ll give it a shot ;)<p>How to live and learn?<p>I&#x27;d recommend reading the book &quot;Mindset&quot; by Carol Dweck. It&#x27;s an amazing philosophy that puts you in the right mindset to grow and succeed.<p>What high pay low effort&#x2F;automatable job can I take?<p>Accounting is a good area to target since most of the work is already digital and in a consistent format (CSV, XSLX, etc)<p>Should I look into renting an office?<p>That or upgrading to a bigger home apartment. That&#x27;s what me and my partner are thinking about :)
