I run cables for people but I also have a business that makes websites for other people that find me via word of mouth. I have contacts in India who work on them for me. the profit margins are intense, I pay a few hundred for a site and then simply add a zero to that. just food for thought because you obviously know IT stuff. it's pretty low risk but I still have insurance on my business just incase anything went wrong Edited 18/01/17 11:39 PM by skidxr6t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I get heaps of different technical challenges 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking to do a Masters of Computer Science part-time fully online over the next 4 years while I continue to work full-time.I've begun to realise I'm happiest at work when I'm designing and creating advanced spreadsheets and writing formulas and code. I like the creativity and problem solving elements to that kind of work, it's what gives me the most satisfaction at work. Plus I realise that I really don't want to do FIFO forever, so need a way out that can still earn alright money working from the city. I figure computing will be a more stable industry than mining in the future, so why not?! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a christmas break but yeah one downside downside of doing things yourself is I still had enquiries from people. computers are certainly the future mr stripes, in the mean time maybe you could get into web development. I spent most of yesterday with my girlfriend while my guy in India is messaging me with project updates/small questions. I also manage peoples ad campaigns and SEO myself though - can't seem to outsource everything :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - same here. Surprisingly the busiest time for me was between xmas and new year - usually totally dead at that time. At least diverting the phone and remote desktop allows me to get a bit of space. Best one was when a client called while I was doing 200 down Gardner Straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
