I definitely agree that it would be important on which projects you choose to work for.  Some projects might have a long term need and sustainable growth for you, which I am sure is important.  Others could be just like coins themselves, up and down and done in a short time.  I do think it would be nice to be able to get away from the standard 9-5 to go to work for something you really enjoy.  I wish you luck in your endeavors!
