Hey guys,
I've been thinking alot recently and I'm considering saving up money to survive a year and just occupy myself with projects to hone my skills.
I'm am currently an engineer and I love learning, but I have a hard time focusing on things without a cause. Therefor I alwayse put myself in projects like designing machine which already exist and then study all the material that I need to fully design and calculate that machine. The handy thing is that I can alwayse find people who know more than me about it so if I do have questions I can alwayse ask them. But the fun part to me is alwayse finding stuff out myself, or at least give it a go!
For instance during my college I had to decide a subject for my thesis, so I decided to fully design an engine.
So I started designing and kept on stumbling upon problems to continue my design, so I had to study these books which I normally would never have opened nor would have cared for! I learned so much more in those three months than I learned in the three years before my thesis...
My current job is just one to obtain some money and now that I have some I want to dedicate myself to do this because it's alwayse been a dream of mine to do this for a year!
Should I do it or any advice on the subject anybody?
Cheers!
