If You Can’t Find a Job That Really Excites You…

If you can’t find a job that really excites you, then start (publicly) doing your own thing.

You’ll run into other people who are doing interesting things, and you can always re-evaluate whether you want to continue doing your own thing independently or team up / work for one of said people.

(Yes, depending on where you are in life you may have to take a job that pays the bills – but try to find a more “neutral” one that at least doesn’t crush your soul and doesn’t consume all of your time, so that you have the energy and bandwidth to simultaneously keep climbing towards a better fit.)
