Talking about Jobs
In this podcast, I’m talking about jobs and how some people promote them as being the only option limiting some kids that have full potential and energy transforming them into some robots that can’t decide for themselves.
You see, in this world, too many people surrender their wishes and dreams because someone they might have considered as being an authority tells them that they will fail, that it’s not something good.
As I said in the podcast, jobs are all good, if you want them. As one of my mentors once said, we only live once, and a life not lived the way we desire is a life not lived at all. A life of comfort, false security and misery is not a life lived to its fullest.
Even if you already have a job is not too late, there are always opportunities of winning, you can still change your life, and the simple reason that we have tools like this means that there is hope.
Live you’re the life you want, not the life someone else wants for you.

You know there's an essay by Bertrand Russell, In Praise of Idleness, where he talked about how everybody has been hypnotized into thinking that working is everything. It's a really deep essay and he really explained how we're just being exploited into thinking we must work really really hard to survive. Like you said, if you want to work, fine, but working doesn't necessarily mean laboring and doing a shitty 9-5 with a shitty boss and stuff. The world is getting better. We shouldn't let stupid atavistic ideologies hold us back.
Thanks for this post. Once again I really identified with it.

I've heard about Russell's work a few times before; I might check it out if I have some spare time this weekend. I do believe in working my hours, and that's what I'm trying to do right now, we'll see how the whole situation looks like a few years from now on. :D

Russell's awesome, tho. I don't know if you read pdfs, but if you do here's a link to a collection of his essays. In Praise of Idleness is the second here.
I wouldn't advise it tho, seeing as ebooks have fucked up my eyes so far.
