Reasons you don’t want a job
Have you ever wonder why you are going to your workplace to work every morning just like everyone else? Aren’t you tired of waking up and rush off to work everyday like this after so many years, if not, decades? Haven’t you think of a better solution? If you really think hard, you will find out that it is our society that has made us like this since a very long time ago. Since the beginning of the industrialization era, booming industries and factories hire a lot of people to work for them, therefore these people become the workers of the factories. After so long till today, the mindset of going to work has already been pre-programmed into us the day we were born without us even realizing it. That mindset has been so strongly and deeply programmed into us that it has already becomes our second nature.
If you do not believe me, just look around yourself, perhaps your relatives, or maybe your neighbors. Everyone after getting a college or university degree, will automatically start looking for job. Looking for a job is automatically the next target.
So what’s wrong with having a job you might ask? There isn’t anything wrong with having a job. It is just that, it is not the most efficient way of making money.
Reason #1 Time
Having a job means you are trading your time and skills in return for money. Your employer will pay you for both the assets you contributed. And so, having a job means you will be having less time for yourself and to be with your loved ones. A minimum of eight-hours a day job already means that more than half your day is gone. With this, I haven’t even considered the time it takes you to go to work and back, it will be more depending on where you stay and how near you are to your workplace. You might also have to pay for your own parking, toll roads, traffic jams and most importantly, your precious fuel. Although all these factors might vary between individual, some would take public transport, some might have free parking, and etc. and if I were to sum them all, it would be quite staggering. Don’t forget we human need to sleep 8 hours a day as well.
Reason #2 Income Taxes
In this country on average where the income tax is so high, having a job will mostly result in almost half the amount of your salary paying for the government. That is, in other words, you are working for almost half a year for the government for free. You see, this amount is gone long before you are even able to touch it and that's ridiculous.
Reason #3 No Control
By having a job, do you think you have control over what you owned (the job)? You have totally zero control over it. Can you guarantee that you will not get fired in the next 1 year, 2 years, or 5 years perhaps? Absolutely not, you can’t control when you want to work or not, you can’t control how much you want to earn and you can’t control whether you can get a promotion or not. So, other than the linear paycheck, there is really nothing to shout about by having a job.
Therefore I strongly stress that a job is truly a waste of time, energy and all the efforts of chasing for increments and promotions. It is really not worth it and for the good sake of yourself; you really don’t need a job. There is no freedom. Life is already so short and you are still wasting all the precious time for such little return.
There are full of opportunities out there. Opportunities are abound everywhere. There is always a better deal than having a job.
