I worked as a software engineer. While being highly qualified despite the lack of an education (degree), my pay rose well, but almost none of my work materialized itself in a product. In fact the large project I worked on for 2 years as its core designer was canned with 3 words in an e-mail by the company's boss when it was ~3 weeks from being done. I finished it anyway.
Then there was another project I worked on for 6 months, and even though it was meant to replace an existing ancient program, and was better in any shape or form, it was canned.
Anyway, currently my goal is to achieve independence, so I am working on my own project (which I worked on the side for years), which is a space combat/exploration game. It's of extreme difficulty, but that's fine.
Depending on the level of success I can use it for applications, continue alone or even expand to a business with employees. Overall it's still a risk to do, but independence is a reward worth fighting for.
