Sorry if this post is wordy, but to give some background, I'm 22 years old, I live alone in my own apartment in a very cheap crappy town, I've been working at McDonalds for about 3 years now since I was 19, it makes okay enough money to support myself even if I struggle a little bit, this might seem like a dream situation for some, but it makes me miserable. I get treated like a subhuman as everyone around me who's been there less gets promoted and then steps all over me, I'm a quiet person, and anytime I speak up or show anger I just get dogpiled, I know it's just McDonalds, but being a wage slave drives me insane, even if it is just for 8 hours a day for 5 days a week. I'm an indie game developer, and a pretty competent musician as I've made decent enough side money off of it, but probably not enough to pay rent. I've got enough savings to live off of for about 2 years and a half, I thought of quitting to pursue working on an indie game, full time, as I've released one that was free, about a year ago that was a moderate success.
I don't really know if I should take more risks, as I've considered college, but it seems like a waste of time these days, and I've got no car as I can't afford it, I just don't want to be 30 regretting all my choices cause I played it safe. If anyone could give me suggestions/advice I'd appreciate it. Maybe getting another job might be a good option, but I don't really think I'd ever be happy working a 9 to 5 where I just do soulless labor and pretend to be happy.
