We are now living in a volatile, ever-changing, cyclical economy and culture

Especially if you're a Millennial, you've seen it

In a span of only 25 years, you've seen music formats change from cassette, to CD, to Mp3, to streaming
A person who got a Computer/IT degree in 2002 is basically ancient in 2020

shyt, just go on Indeed. Look at all these new job titles that came out of nowhere, new certifications, employers looking for multi-skilled workers, etc

IMO it's because of two things.

-The technology is literally updating every 6 months
-Aging/retiring population

So much new things to learn, and so many new open slots with retirement

If you the type to come to work, clock in, clock out, and go home... with no care to "move up", get a side hustle, study for certs/licenses, you will definitely SUFFER.
If you the type to depend on your boss to provide for you until you're 65, you will SUFFER
If you the type to only depend on steady paychecks in the age of layoffs, mass new hiring, govt shutdowns, cyclical stock markets, you will SUFFER



Ya'll been warned :hubie:

If you’re pursuing a passion that hasn’t yielded at least $50k in annual income in your bank account, you gone suffer.

Have a god brother that has been pursuing “music” for the past 15 years. Just sent me a text asking me what I think about this place that does blood plasma collection -400/month. :francis:

security > passion

This is probably the first time in 100 years that you gotta truly pursue profit over passion. I worked at a non profit I loved because I like helping people but had to go to a job I hate just to break bread

Is it really even feasible for 200 million working age adults to have this mindset? Now that this whole capitalist system has been exposed as a house of cards we should really be advocating for a system in which everyone can thrive and live comfortably.

:patrice:Tbh I would say it's quite the opposite.
With the reach of the internet and all the tech we have nowadays, it's easier than ever to make money off a passion that would have been a side hustle/hobby in the past.
