I was in the same situation 3 years ago.

In short, I'm happy I chose a job. Granted, I was lucky to get one that is doing work I consider meaningful. But having that job has made it much more clear to me what I'd like to do in the future. The MS I'd apply to now is dramatically different than the one I'd have applied to before having the experience. Which is a good thing I think.

It's too easy to lose yourself in gaming/browsing. I was aware that I was passionate about the web long before I decided to 'learn' it.

Self-awareness, financial intelligence, and confidence in doing the things you enjoy will always get you far.

Personally, I really like Austrians.

Mises.org is a good place to start in that regard.

try pinboard.in, it's great.
