Yes!
Do something constructive in your free time that also taxes you mentally. As a cs student I spend a lot of my free time writing code. People will use it, it will make a difference and it keeps me occupied. I'm not saying you should go out and become a renegade programmer but you should think about what you're giving up first (it sounds like financial insurance for life to me). There were people who would do almost anything to be in your position. Can't you slug it out? You could even get a part-time job to fill the void.

Not sure if it is on subject.
But i tend to do a lot of work for free.

for friends obviously.

not the point you are making?

am very good with my hands, not to good with software. I have Azreal to thank for building this computer let alone all the phone calls (yes he is my helpdesk)

just to explain fully i have done a lot of work in his house (is this not what friends do?)

edit: i do builder work (excluding plumbing, that is his trade. he fixes my computer, fair trade and no robery IMHO, (i find software confusing)

to be a reply to the guy who's considering quitting his job where he gets paid but has no work?

You write code
yet are unfamiliar with the workings of the "reply" button.

Facinating.
