Every conventional employee position I ever tried to hold burned out in flames in a very short while -- until I went into self employment, which I've now stuck with for 21 years. Becoming self employed was the answer for me, so I can recommend it. You must find something to do or create that is in demand, though, or for which a demand can be encouraged.
