Americans need to stop being go-getters at work

Man if you think Americans work hard you should see Asians.

But I want money. With money I can upgrade my budding family life.

My job is my life. For 3 days I maje 26 an hour for the second set of 3 I make 40 an hour. Yup you have fun enjoying yoyr hobbies I'll be busy setting myself up for life

Actaully working hard is not the problem. Working hard at dumb work is the problem.

People building professional careers with high payoffs have to work hard.

People building businesses have to work hard. The payoff is a successful business.

People doing low or minimal skill work are in a different category.

Working smart (and hard at working smart) always has a far better payoff and resulting lifestyle than just working dumb.

When asking old ppl their biggest regrets 90% of them say they wish they hadnt worked so hard. I cant help it but make the same mistake I just have the worker bee mindset.

Offensive to people that can't work.

I could not agree more. If everyone could take one year off from being an employee and doing something they enjoy without having a boss they would realise how much it is absurd to kill yourself or to attach to a 9-5 job. There is so much out there to enjoy and so much to see. Just staying at home doing nothing is a blessing.

America needs to gravitate more towards the unofficial slogan of Europe: "strive for mediocrity"

i thought it was cause they throw their children out when they turn 18 like wild animals.

The west has some of the most unfulfilling careers I’ve ever heard of. I swear half the population makes 50k a year sending emails. I don’t know how they could ever feel satisfied being Red Tape Checker #24,800 and having to dedicate 40+ hours a week to that.
It’s just adult daycare doing these nonsense jobs. Simultaneously working too hard and not hard enough at the same time. They’re just holding you in place until you age out and realize you have nothing.
