You can't. Go for a more traditional job instead. Eg: finance or law.

Hey, here on HN we never say "You can't."

I've done the finance thing, and it's got its good side. But now, I want to see how I can help more directly. And yes, it's possible.

We hackers are sustained by WILLPOWER, even when mocked as reckless and crazy! If there's a wall in our way, we smash it down! If there isn't a path, we carve one ourselves!
