> eighteen hour waking days leave a lot of boredom time, no matter how many hobbies you have

Lol - you don't have enough hobbies.

Seriously, I can’t remember the last time I was bored as an adult - the times I was bored as a kid, it was because adults were making be somewhere or do something that wasn’t engaging.

I literally have a computer at hand 24/7 now, I’m almost never bored. It’s kinda crazy to think about much of a change that is.

Turns out I prefer some of my hobbies to benefit other people’s goals, which is often sated by employment.

Isn’t this just a cringey way to say you prefer your hobbies to make money.

		No? If I meant that, I would have said that. My current hobby that benefits others is reverse engineering something. I have no revenue plans or pathway for that effort, it’s been underway for five years, and it’s keeping my need to help occupied as I go through full-time school.
