The point is, we should resist being owned.
Who wants to spend majority of their life in a classroom or on the job?
We are capable of having more fulfilling lives

If all you do is work then it will be boring. We tend to work and go home instead of enjoying life.
Yeah, it is. You get to a place where you think about how much "more" you could be doing with your life. It's the cyclical and ironic nature of it. Everyone is working for the weekend and shyt only to start the same monotonous process again in two days; and to be frank Sunday isn't even really a day off because you spend all day thinking about Monday. Moreover, if you're 25 and let's say you live to be 70 that means you have less than 2,500 weeks left in your life. I mean, what the fukk am I doing? 
It's the micro-managing, it's the politics, it's the not owning the means of production, it's the remuneration or lack thereof, it's the opportunity cost all in one fukked up pill you have to swallow everyday.
I'm going to law school, but even that shyt has me like
when I think about it. It's not what I really want to do. It's practical, though. I truly want to go film school, but I'm scared I'll end up making Russell Westbrook highlights on Youtube and shyt after film school .
It's a cold game out here. *shakes sunflower seeds in hand before tossing them back*

This shyt right here. I'm about to hit 30 and I been pretty square for my life, but I see how much more shyt I can get into when I start making bread and am old enough
to appreciate the stupid amount of hobbies I can now safely afford. I coulda been one of those dudes knocking chicks up, but they don't like me
so nowI realize it was for the best
Most ppl who work 9-5's have accepted their programming. Usually because they make enough for the area they live in and/or the ppl they work with make it fun/worth it to be there.
The older i've gotten the more i've started seeing a job for what it is, a chunk of your time that someone else owns you...they tell you everything from when you can go eat to when you can use the bathroom! fukk that shyt. Can't wait til i can quit my 9-5 for good...making someone else rich as fukk while i give up 40+ hours a week for years at a time while dealing with a bunch of dumbass redneck hillbilly CACs who on some powertrip shyt and wouldn't even had their positions if not for that good ole boy network, ain't the business.
A job should be seen as a tool to get your own shyt poppin. Now understand not a lot of ppl are smart enough to do better than a 9-5, but if you are then do yourself a favor and get the fukk on down!! You ain't gotta walk out today, just get a plan together and realize you're smart enough to make whatever lil bullshyt money you make right now doing something on a more independent basis.

What is the ideal job? It's obvious the end goal is to run your own business. But in the meanwhile what is the ideal job aside from working a 9-5.
It sucks if you hate your job or your shyt is boring. I'm mostly on the road and I'm working with my hands working with tools so my day goes by quick. I did 4 services today and got off at 5:30. Made an hour of overtime just dropping my truck off back at the shop.

Id say the ideal 9-5 is:
1. A job that focuses on quality vs quantity: Alot of production jobs are soul draining because youre chasing a number as opposed to seeing a product through from day 1. When you actually have projects vs products you gain a greater level of investment.
2. A job that encourages innovation and improvement or a job that where you constantly need retraining: A job where you constantly have to learn a new skillset means things never get stagnant. Plus if the training is specialized, you can expect getting paid on the clock and hopefully, out of town (alot of training courses turn into minivacations).
3. Jobs without holiday peak seasons; kinda self explanatory. Ive been a supervisor at UPS for years and its terrible knowing every holiday season youre basically chained to the facility.
4. Jobs that let you travel: self explanatory
5. Jobs that allow interdepartment or even office to office/regional transfers: Once again nobody wants to do the same thing over and over again for 30 years.

The only place I can see offering all that is Google or Microsoft. And those two companies are not easy to get in.

TBH alotta state and federal contractor jobs offer most of this too. The pay isnt as good but nikkas sleep on contracting. Civil Engineering and basically any gig that supports infrastructure is gonna blow up in the next decade (the current highway crisis in Georgia is only gonna fasttrack this).

Lookahere mayne...
Right.
Gospel. And this is how people get fukked up. You have a dumb job, and instead of working towards not being in that shyt, you overdo your freetime shyt and never get anywhere.Too much drinking, too much eating, too much fukking, whatever...time flies, and you are wasting potential because you constantly escape the misery when you have freetime rather than
finding a way to move on entirely. I can say I can think of 3 companies I gave too many years to and gained NOTHING in return. One I wasn't even making any real money due to travel
expenses and the shyt wage. 2+ years and NOTHING of value was gained. It isn't even on my resume these days
why do we do this kinda shyt to ourselves? shyt sucks? Days offis about learning and sending out resumes, not drinking and video gaming till the next shift
