So
you want a job...
Security:
yeah, we all like to feel secure. It's human nature to avoid
pain, physical and emotional. It's also in our nature to seek
pleasure. This means we like to feel comfortable, relaxed, free
to do what we wish. As far as scrilla goes, most people have
the impression that having a steady job, paying your bills on
time, and occasionally putting away a few bucks after taxes
is the best way to secure a decent future. Sure, if this is
1977. Now, you're lucky if you get a temp
agency to get you a crappy-paying, no-benefit, temporary
position at a factory, where you can be let go at any time without
reason or compensation. Is working for someone else really the
way to security?
Business
climate:
Today, businesses are forced to run leaner by the market conditions
and/or greed. How many people you know actually like what they
do? Are they working for others, or themselves? How many people
you know have worked at the same job for over 10 years? Are
any of them under 45 years old? What makes you think that you
will have a job next year? Can you be easily replaced? Do you
make decent money? Are you expecting a decent raise? Is work
becoming increasingly stressful? Do you think your boss is an
a**hole?
The
point of working:
Why do you have a job or a business? To make scrilla.
Having a job has it's advantages. Potentially, you can have
less things to worry about at the same time. You have a steady
paycheque. Some of you are lucky to have benefits. You know
your hours. On the other hand, having a good business lets you
set your own hours. You have a greater chance on capitalizing
on your efforts. You can grow. You are your own boss, though
customers ultimately dictate the rules. A great business will
allow you to leave it alone, while it makes you money regardless
with minimal supervision.
