How does a person make important life decisions?
Up to now, I've been pursuing a TCS masters and doing a part time programming job on the side.
Tomorrow, I'm gonna drop that job, because I just can't stand how boring it is.
Eventually, I'll have to go for some job, but anything the degree will provide me with will most likely be boring.
What's the right course of action, if I'm only good at 'intellectual' stuff?
>Just go with the boredom and bear it?
>Switch fields entirely?
>Try to find something fun that's somehow tangential to my field? (like really trying hard to get into interesting research, or going for proficiency in cyber-security)
Right now, I'm just gonna finish the degree, since there's not much time left and I'm not missing out on this opportunity.
