34, soon to be 35. I've been a Software Engineer for over 13 years and have to say that while it has always been very enjoyable, it was only over the past 4 or so years when I went independent, and focused on startups and what not, that I really found my true happiness. I work from home now and have found that not only am I producing my best work, faster than ever, but I'm happier than ever. This is work? ;)
