Think bigger. Start a quality IT consulting business and possibly be rich. There’s a small fraction of industry who will pay for it. Likely plenty for many ‘lifestyle businesses’ per region.
Actually I have been considering investing & going BSD only to escape the insanity that has now also contaminated the "Linux world"
Now from my initial observations the opportunities in the saner world are quite scarce and hard to find. But I am pretty sure those companies often face a skill shortage too.
Probably complaining about the rat race / grind mindset which leads to lot of people without strong fundamentals gaming the system and getting high end jobs.
The whole Docker & container craze vs how things are done in FreeBSD worry me much more.
But this is not so much about the technology but more about the fact that as Linux became mainstream & the default choice it doesn't filter out anymore the companies who have no idea what they are doing.
These days they largely opt for the GSuite/Squarespace stack or similar to fulfil those needs around here.
