I'm better than I was a year and a half ago when I was doing full time web development at an agency for large corps.
I just burned out one too many times and got sick of development and tech, in general.
So, now I'm back in school studying info science and deputy editor of a newspaper. I've made contacts everywhere.
Right now we're investigating the slow privatization of my public school and some recent antics by administration to outsource an entire tech department to an outside vendor. It's fascinating stuff. But it's dramatic too, and sad, when people lose their jobs.
With all the vitriol out there, the decline of independent journalism and the rise of tech, I sense a lot of spiritual opportunity (and perhaps not monetary) in reporting on these things, even though traditional media is in decline.
I'm hoping to find and join other people building next chapters in this area.
Most importantly, I needed to get away from code and screens and get in front of people with questions. I love asking questions.

Tldr; Money wasn't buying me happiness.
