so, anyway, since you don't have patience for people, try maybe steering your career towards a PRODUCT instead of a service. yes, in a sense a product business is a service business too, but if you position yourself more towards the building/design end of your product, and let someone else do the sales, then chances are your life experience will improve radically.
i'm saying this because i remember you're taking courses and the like-- so try to steer your instruction towards the reclusive end of work. i think you'll be happier that way. people are hell and servicing them is the deepest circle.

the problem is you can never beat amazon etc. and you just gotta resell. and i cant hire anyone since im the hire, and even solo i cant afford to hire anyone and dont intend to.
my product is my time, advice, attention as well as my technical ability and physical products. this is what i sell because i know people can just go online and buy a new product cheaper and faster.
the service economy is hell but its pretty much the only game in town. delivery drivers and physical retailers are gonna die when the drones and driverless cars are shipping shit to your door in a few clicks.
you want to combine the customer service aspect of the service industry with technical know how and ability and be able to do things the internet cant already do for people
i do have a long term plan which is based on being able to sell and install specific technology that is going to start booming sometime in the next 5-15 years. it gives me enough time to learn how it works from the base level and how to install it.
i was fishing around for courses to take and got offered a 2 year part time group of courses for £7500!
im pretty sure i can learn them all or most of them alone if i have the time.
