So Lets see… Here its how this is supposed to work. I finish high school with good  grades. These good grades will get me into a good college. I have to graduate with good GPA to get a good job. Good job will ensure that I’ll make a lot of money . All that money will take care of all my needs and once my needs are taken care of i’ll be happy and well-off.  This is exactly what we are nurtured into since very early age. Its kind of funny to see how rarely people actually question this norms and ask for who set it?.

You get much better perspective of things when you start questioning people around you about it. Most of the people I know are not happy with their job. But they continue working because they have responsibilities and there is no other way they can think of. You have one short life and you really want to do something you are not fond of for a living ? Second thing that startles me is the fact that most of them shy away from starting up. If you really good at some thing or know ins and outs of a industry, go out there and make some coin.

To be honest, I think its high time people get out of the ‘get a job’ jargon and think out of the box. There are tons of things you can do to make money except a job. They might be a little volatile source of income but at the end of the day you are your own boss. Life is too short to kill your dreams and do something you don’t like.
