I think that anybody who is in the financially fortunate position of being able to choose their career, or even if they have one, should do so. I'm tired of hearing things from people like "everyone should aspire to be better at what they do" or "everyone should work harder to try get that promotion" because truth is, not everyone's life revolves around work and careers and financial success.
Ofcourse I'm not naïve, and I am fully aware that without money we're all screwed, but I'm simply saying that people shouldn't make their lives miserable just to try make more money or have a more socially acceptable job than the next person.
Now I'm new to this site, and came across a post a couple days ago, about some douchebag stating that all women or men who are home makers or stay at home wives/husbands are incredibly lazy and are only doing so to try get a free ride in life and live off the backs of their partner. This is alovely example, because I believe that these days, the world is way too focused on money, careers, and success in the work place.
So much so, that aparantly a human being is only a decent human being if they are employed. I find that shockingly closed minded and even though I disagree with laziness, I found it absolutely bizarre that someone could actually think that way.
This is a very convincing argument. Your friends are extremely fortunate to have you as a friend.
I have been running after money for the last 2 years. Even though I have been somewhat successful, lately my last year has been totally shit. I have fucked my mind by constantly thinking I should not be doing this, this is not what I should do.
I should get out of this and start doing what I like even if I get paid less. It has almost been an year since I had fully laughed.
Moreover with this constant thinking, self-scolding and not taking action I have made my life hell.
IIN that I believe people should only work at jobs they'll enjoy?
