So, I am trying to figure out what I am doing with my life. Of the many possibilities, I am not even sure what criteria to use for choosing. Today, I thought about what I could do to make money. I have a couple of years left on my contract over here and was wondering what I could do to make a lot of money in that time. I came up with an arbitrary number of one million dollars in addition to my regular salary. Seemed like a nice round number to me. I did an assessment of my skills, knowledge, and talents to come up with money making ideas. Then I estimated how much money I could make for each. I was pretty reasonable with the estimates, but even under the rosiest scenarios it turns out that I would probably fall short of my goal. Looks like I could make about $400,000 if I spent all of my time doing the most profitable work. Not a bad amount of money, but not up to what I was hoping for. I’ll have to go back and see if I can think of something else to make money or decide if a lesser amount is enough.
