I noticed, most tech jobs are extremely boring, especially in legacy/maintenance space. Some of these jobs pay 65/hr or more. Im thinking, i may get two of these jobs, and just double my income, since I don't foresee my workload increasing that much. Worst case, I dip in performance. But if my last employer is anything to go by, my life as an employee or contractor is to fulfill someone's budget sheet, so i dont feel as bad about the idea anymore

I have been thinking some of these things myself. I could do the work of some of the people I manage with about 2 hours of real work a day. The real issue is figuring out how to make meeting schedules not conflict.

Actually that's pretty easy, simply get two jobs in two different time zones, this way your meetings are never at the same time. Or tell them you have a Dr's appointment or something
