I enjoy the writings of blogger Steve Pavlina, creator of stevepavlina.com a website on “personal development for smart people.” He is a highly successful blogger who has excellent ideas you can implement. I particularly love his post titled: 10 Reasons You Should Never Get a Job. In it, he explains why having a job is the single worst way to improve your life. Its sole advantage is that it is the path of least resistance. It takes more drive and ingenuity to build a business from the ground up than to simply be a cog in someone else’s machine. The excerpt below is taken from his post, and I highly recommend that you click through and read the entire thing. Hopefully you will be inspired to take command of your own income potential, as the secret to success in America is to be entrepreneurial. Our system rewards the entrepreneurs while penalizing menial wage slaves. This is the reason the median income is a pathetic $32,000 or so nationwide. Successful people could wipe their ass with this amount annually. As the gap between the haves and the have-nots grows, I know which side of the line I wish to be on. I hope this inspires you to leverage your abilities and make a revenue generation engine of your own that will pay you when you work, sleep, eat, play, travel and the like. It is a fool’s gambit to think hard work alone will give you a life of freedom.
Just for fun I recently asked Erin, “Now that the kids are in summer school, don’t you think it’s about time you went out and got yourself a job? I hate seeing you wallow in unemployment for so long.”
She smiled and said, “Wow. I have been unemployed a really long time. That’s weird… I like it!”
Neither of us have had jobs since the ’90s (my only job was in 1992), so we’ve been self-employed for quite a while. In our household it’s a running joke for one of us to say to the other, “Maybe you should get a job, derelict!”
It’s like the scene in The Three Stooges where Moe tells Curly to get a job, and Curly backs away, saying, “No, please… not that! Anything but that!”
It’s funny that when people reach a certain age, such as after graduating college, they assume it’s time to go out and get a job. But like many things the masses do, just because everyone does it doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. In fact, if you’re reasonably intelligent, getting a job is one of the worst things you can do to support yourself. There are far better ways to make a living than selling yourself into indentured servitude.
Here are some reasons you should do everything in your power to avoid getting a job:
1. Income for dummies.
2. Limited experience.
3. Lifelong domestication.
4. Too many mouths to feed.
5. Way too risky.
6. Having an evil bovine master.
7. Begging for money.
8. An inbred social life.
9. Loss of freedom.
10. Becoming a coward
He makes life as an employee look pretty sad, and the truth is that it is. Enjoy, and start thinking about how you, can take command of your life. What are your thoughts?
The unvarnished TRUTH can kick you right in the gut!
