Life is so much more varied and interesting. I only ever do things that I think are worth doing. I work at my own pace (which is 10x faster than anything I ever observed in the corporate world). I work exclusively with brilliant people, doing something which I think is worthwhile.

I have no personal experience with the statement above. Perhaps the closest I have come was telecommuting and doing project work for a couple of years.

Even if there wasn't more money in the long term, this is an infinitely preferable lifestyle.

After 11 years working for some of the biggest companies in the world and becoming increasingly miserable, I sincerely hope this is true. Sounds good on paper, anyway.
