Going to college was great for my understanding and yet skepticism surrounding the US/Global economy.
When I was broke after however many years of schooling I got a job.
I did very well at that job and was fired by a member of the company’s ownership that made him have to show up and actually work. Begin distrust of Dad’s advice about “jussst get a decent job and stick with it, do right by the company and they’ll tooootaly take care of you.
Next job: Bike messenger in a major metropolitan area. Almost get killed.
-Note to self-
these fucking people don’t give a shit about me, neeto !
Couple mundane jobs go by....
Next Job: Oh wait, I’m not going to prison for trying to make money. Fuuuck that.
Next 2 jobs: Hey can we underpay you so you can use our services for free/cheap ?
=FU
Career: I run my own business.
I fire myself at the end of every day.
