I'm with you on this one. I made killer money at my old corporate job - but I was miserable. Why? Because it sucked ass. Period. The work sucked slightly less then all the coworkers. But hey, I made killer money, so I should just be 'happy'. Nope.
Same thing goes with my brother. He makes good dough, but he hates his job and his redneck clients. But he's pulling good money so he should be happy, right? Not exactly.
Don't get caught up in that 'if you make $ you'll be happy myth'.
You can start your own business, but if its a suck job, its a suck job. No two ways about it. Pick something you love to do, but not your favorite hobby, because after all, the old cliches are true, money can't buy you happiness and when a hobby turns into a job, it stops being fun.
