I agree that being self employed working entirely on commission based projects, like a freelance contractor or similar, is not such a good plan in the long term. When I consider this I'm imagining a mix between service work and asset development, preferably phasing out the service work over time.

There are so many things I don't like about the idea of a 9-5 job (or rather 9-7 these days), that I would rather opt to pick up trash all day so long as I could set my own schedule.

edit: the part-time job idea is a nicer prospect, especially if it manages to cover basic living expenses. The kind of full time job I dread the most is the energy and attention consuming "career job"
