Happily Jobless or unhappily employed?

When mapping out your life plan, this question usually comes up. Do I want to have a job and be an indentured servant for the bulk of my years or do I want to not do that at all and do whatever I want and find alternative ways to make money. And by alternative, I don't meet prostituting myself out because honestly, anyone could do that. That's why they call it the oldest profession. Basically, no matter how old you are, you could probably do it, barring a massive coronary. Ha. Just kidding Hef. But anyway, I think that having a job, as in a place you go five times a week eight hours a day, is not for me. That's just too much work. And the value you're providing is worth way more than what they pay you. Plus there's all those taxes they just take out for no reason. I'll tell you what, that doesn't sound good to me. That's what I'm doing now to get trhough college but once I get my degree, forget that. If I go into radio or speaking and comedianing, well, I won't have to trade my time for money. The money I make will be based on the value I am giving. If I'm a good speaker/comedian, then I'll make good money. I won't have to work eight hours a day or 40 hours a week. Sure, I may have to rehearse for more than that and write speeches more than that, but at least it will be in a relaxed environment. I won't have some boss man watching over me and critiquing me. Telling me that if I screw up one more time I'm gone. I can't deal with that and I shouldn't have to. Why should I put someone else in charge of MY time? Why should I? It's just not worth it. That's like letting someone else live your life for you. Why would you want to do that? The only reason I could ever see someone wanting to do that is if they didn't know what they wanted to do with their life, which in that case go ahead and let someone else tell you what's right for you. I know what's right for me. Maybe you don't know what's right for you. That's something you have to work out yourself. Don't let someone tell you what to do, unless you're open to what they say, but don't let them make you do what you don't want to do with your life. Why spend your whole life living out someone else's life? That's like some parent who never became an actress forcing her life on a young child because she wants the child to be what she never was. Don't do that to anyone. Please, if your life sucks, and you didn't get what you wanted, don't try to get someone close to you to liv eout your dreams. That's not right. So live your life and just rmember, it's never too late to do what you want to do. Quit your job. Do it. Have a very relaxing life. You can. And in time, you will.
