Free from 9 to 5
Free from 9 to 5 is an interesting new blog to check out.
From the about page:
If someone told me 10 years ago, when I was in college, that I would be working for one of Southern California’s largest employers, doing software development and being paid handsomely to boot, I’d be ecstatic. Well, I am working for that employer now, doing software development and being paid very well, but I’m far from ecstatic. In fact, I don’t want this anymore. I don’t want a daily 2 hour round trip commute. I don’t want to spend 8-10 hours a day stuck in a cubicle. I don’t want to deal with office politics.
Now, I want to work for myself. I want to work where I want, when I want. I don’t mind working more than 40 hours a week, but I want to set my own schedule. The Internet makes all this within reach. I just need to go out and do it. This is easier said than done though. As I struggle with this, I hope to explore what others are doing and how they’re doing it here. I hope you will find it informative and maybe even helpful if you are striving towards the same goal.

Just go for it! It may not be easy but satisfaction never is!

Hi….
I totally agree with u. I feel the same sitting in a cubicle in a top Indian software development company in Mumbai, India. Even I want to get out of this binding 9 hrs job and do something of my own. But I just dont know how to go about it. Only thing that i know right now is that right now I am young, proactive and ready to take risk and work as hard as possible…..and do something of my own….may be u can help me…I need ideas…..
keep in touch
