Ask HN: I'm bored, want exposure to new things but I don't want a job
I consider myself an entrepreneur, I taught myself programming over the last 2.5 years. I have some iOS apps which make me enough money to survive but have enough money banked to survive otherwise.
I feel I don't have good or new ideas anymore. I think its because I work alone in isolation. I feel like good ideas comes from life experiences and exposure. I think I need to experience new and different problems in my life. I'm still looking for something I can really build a startup out of.
I don't think I would last at a job though. I don't have a CS degree so its unlikely I can get an engineering position. I could probably land something in marketing/support/whatever. This may mean I get less time to program and thus improve less at programming. I feel like ditching a job after 4 months would be a bad thing to do. But, maybe I'd end up enjoying the job.
So yeah, anyone ever been in the same boat or have ideas on what I should do?
