Getting a job, like hotel night clerk, that doesn’t require much effort on my part, so I can explore my interests on the side
If you decide to go this route, I would strongly recommend looking for something where you can multitask exploring your interests with working. As hamnox mentions, a job can eat up a lot of time, even if it doesn’t require much effort. Hotel night clerk sounds like a pretty multitaskable job, but be careful about the negative effects of working night shift (my understanding is that you can counteract these by carefully managing how much light you’re exposed to during the rest of the day).
Out of curiosity, what other interests do you hope to pursue?
Things I currently enjoy doing include modding video games, playing video games, reading books, and writing books (the last has been on hold for a while.) I’d like to try and expand on these interests. For example, read books I wouldn’t normally read, and instead of fiddling with other people’s programming, make more of my own. I majored in computer science, and I really enjoyed many of my early classes, so I know there is still plenty for me to explore there. The internship I had last summer was OK as well. Same with writing; I wrote roughly half a million words back in high school, and even though everything I wrote was rather terrible, I enjoyed writing it. I’ll see.
As for working at night, that doesn’t worry me too much. I seem to end up being nocturnal naturally anyway.
