Very much so. I need to stop wasting so many hours each day on my day job (temp work) and find enough remote knowledge work to switch careers completely and do what I love to do with a full week of forty hours or more. My current graphic design temp assignment is drawing to a close. There's no telling when I'll have another one. If I'm lucky and work hard at hunting for remote knowledge work, I may not even need to seek any more temp assignments in graphic design.

Here's the thing though. In any organization for whom I do remote knowledge work, I must love what they do. This is not just a principle. It's pragmatic. If I am not excited about their product or service, I will do a poor job. I know myself well enough to know that no amount of financial compensation will substitute to make it possible for me to perform adequately.
