I should follow your "work hard and smart policy"as it seems like a smarter was to go about work
But about the work, when you mention work @tarazkp most people get fatigued already but the truth is most people can create jobs for themselves if they don't want to be employees . Something they love doing. You don't necessarily have to work an 8-5 job. You could learn a trade and still work from home/ or be on a contract.
Say crocheting for example, you can literally make crochets designs and art works from home and it's a win win. You could also be a contract crocheter.
Depends on lifestyle as to whether doing something you love will pay the bills you need it to pay.
This too should be put into consideration. If it doesn't work out, that's when improvisation comes in✨
