People who think that having a job is great because of the supposed security they have, may be failing to realize they are taking their unlimited effort and turning it into a fixed expense for a business. About the only place one can get around this in a job, is in the area of sales. But, when it comes to just about every other profession, you set yourself up to become a fixed expensed for a business, that enables them to maximize their profitability.
Why do people go for this? Well, part of it is conditioning not to think as a business owner. Another one is a false sense of security people having, that they would be safe by just pleasing an owner of a company and making themselves into a fixed income wage slave. Well, my experience tells me that, the first change in economic conditions will result in you being at risk of being downsized. Oh, and forget a pension when you retire to. Companies, over half of them now in the United States, have shifted to a 401K setup where what is put in, including matching bonuses, is all you get out.
Ask yourself, is doing unlimited effort for a fixed amount of money, while really having no promise of lifetime security, REALLY worth your total focus? If not, have you given thought to starting your own business?
