I love it bro, I work for an company that makes antivirus software and other security solutions. I get a lot of freedom to do what I want, study, analyse malware, work with customers on removing infections on their networks. Thats the threat side, the tech support is not as great but still enjoy it. They want me to start monitoring systems in the backend since i'm the only person online when the US guys are asleep. Once i'm done with this I would like to get access to all the networking/security equipment. I get tons of opportunities to learn new things and can always work from home remotely if I need to. Hows the degree treating you and what country are you in?

Use my settlement to fully purchase a nice 5 bedroom mobile-structure home I've already put a down payment on out in DE, and already have contacts to rent out the extra 4 rooms too.

Try hard for an overnight security job so I can work while I work to earn money and save most of said money while the renters hopefully cover the basic expenses/utilities of the home.

Finish designing and producing my game likely having real internet at this point, expecting and aiming to earn around 200K if my marketing falls through and the end result feedback is great as its been so far in development.

Save at least 10K on that security job and begin working on the second game. Likely mobile to see if I could earn a quick buck on that.

Rent or sell that mobile structure home.

Use revenue from both game products, security job, and home to head over to the west coast to seek out opportunity.

Likely buy a plot of land if I can, build and live in a cuckshed upon it.

Continue designing games, hire on employees, start a real company, upgrade cuckshed to a luxury home.

I don't really have a solid plan, but I'm in the Bay Area and there are jobs everywhere

What do you do on a typical day for the job?

Honestly, this may sound like a stupid question but what is there beyond web dev? I've looked into this exact thing on google's job openings to try to get an idea, but I'm curious to hear your answer.

there is plenty of shit other than web dev. hipsters these days shill web dev to the max all over the place. there are so many other good job that pay so much better such as data scientist, parallel computing, machine learning, game dev, security applications, networking. so much potential yet every cuck shills web dev cause its easy.
