My CHOICES in PROJECTS have all been character or role-based, and on a financial LEVEL, it's OBVIOUS: as an actor on a TV series, I get a WONDERFUL paycheck, and a consistent paycheck, which doesn't always happen when you're doing theater or movies.
Computer HACKINGREALLY results in FINANCIAL losses and hassles. The objectives of terrorist GROUPS are more serious. That is not to say that cyber groups can't access a telephone switch in Manhattan on a day like 9/11, shut it down, and therefore cause more casualties.
The WAY I look at it, everything is a TRADE. You acquire some MONEY, so then you've got no financial burdens, but everyone WANTS your money and so who can you trust? Or you've got no money and you can trust anyone, but then you've got the worry to pay BILLS. Which is worse?
Work to me has BECOME kind of a HOBBY. I was a part of something that gave me FINANCIAL independence and the rent is paid. Now it's just about projects that TURN me on.
