| Seriously, you guys should think a lot harder about this particular subject, particularly those of you being glib about it.
There's a very real possibility that the Internet could one day go down, for any number of reasons.
Natural disaster, digital warfare, totalitarian governments, zombie uprising, etc.
Think of it that way, and then think "What will I do for a living if that happens?"
Thankfully, I have a a few other trades up my sleeve. I just don't do them because I'm a lazy SOB.
I could go back into small events management, or even high end bartending. I'd probably still be there if the internet didn't exist.
I also used to make beer money selling stock photos. No reason I couldnt' get back into that. Without the internet though, digital cameras probably wouldn't have gotten to the point they're at now, so I may not have been into photography as much.
Alternatively, I could have actually gone and done a cadetship at a newspaper. |
