Or you could…ya know…go to fukking college and get a good job. Or work towards a trade. If there’s a community misunderstanding it’s the general inexperience many young people - and especially black people - have about jobs vs careers. This type of advice may sound logical if your idea of work revolves around retail and the service industry. If you’re applying yourself and working towards an actual career, this advice is laughable.
Same with the “everyone needs a side hustle to survive” advice you see. If you’re single making 50k a year (not in LA of NY lol) you don’t need a side hustle. You’re living comfortably working up the ladder in your career. If people need to aspire to something it should be a career, not working 60 hours a week at Burger King and doing DoorDash.

This is a @BrothaZay thread so I'm sure the title of the thread is taken out of context
As material conditions get progressively worse people will not only start to imagine a better alternative to the system we have now, they'll demand it.
People are still operating as if our future will resemble the era of excess and relative economic stability enjoyed by our baby boomer parents. Those days are long gone. We are currently approaching the tail end of late stage Capitalism. The average American will continue to be priced out of everything, while the wealth will be hoarded by a few.

The responses in this thread are yet another confirmation that many of the people on this site lie about their lifestyle and aint really living to their potential.
Most people want to be mediocre. If you want to be mediocre then work 40 hours a week, it's okay.
But if you want to be special, different, above average and have access to the things being above average gets you then you have to be working more than 40 hours a week. Very Very few people can work only 40 hours a week and reach 6 let alone 7 figures. I dont know a single legit entrepreneur that only works 40 hours a week. That shxt is for people that punch a clock.
I work 70+ hours a week but only spend about 45 hours on my 9-5, the other 25+ is spent on growing businesses I've invested in. That 60+ hours a week should be diversified so that you can have multiple revenue streams.

getting blitzed.
I don’t fully agree with your 2nd paragraph, but I do agree that the comments are a bit shocking and there possibly needs to be a shift in thought.
It was suggested in another post that if you go to college, you won’t have to work 60 hours or more. I don’t agree with that. I went to college for engineering, work in upper management, and I’m definitely putting in 60 hours.
