Higher pay, boring job or a lower pay, more fulfilling job?

Since you're so young, I'd say maybe stick with it for a year and save up your money. You'll have some decent work experience, money and you can leave pretty easily if you want to go back to school.

There's a difference between a hobby and a career. It sounds like your interests have been in tech for so long and it would be foolish to pass along such a great opportunity. You can still cook and entertain for friends.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
