10 reasons not to get a job...ever I thought it was interesting. Read it, maybe we can talk. http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2006/07/10-reasons-you-should-never-get-a-job/
Interesting take on things, though his knowledge of office jobs seems to be limited to that gained by watching episodes of "The Office." He also forgets to mention that, despite his motivational speaking talent, he probably couldn't ever get a 'real job' because of his pesky felony conviction.
This was nice, though: "Anger is a higher level of consciousness than apathy, so it’s a lot better than being numb all the time." It makes me feel better about sqaundering blog opportunities for the past decade.
Haha, yeah I didn't even look at the rest of the site, just that article. The kinds of thing that I take out of that kind of article is that I do agree its stupid to put all your eggs in one basket. Many employees are offerred stock buying programs as part of their benefits. Many employees have 80% of their stock in their company's stock. This is very stupid because you could lose your job and your nest egg. It's generally a good idea to build up other income streams, if and when you can. Investment, buying your own home, maybe becoming a landlord or starting a small business (whether that's your primary job or something you do on the side) all make a lot of sense. However, you have to figure out your own way to get things done.
Started in 2004 to chronicle a Vancouver to New York drive, this is a sporadic blog about being from New York, living in Boston, working coast to coast, learning through constant travel, starting a rock band, technology, writing, photography, music, urban planning, transportation, and other things that interest me.

And the way Society of Debt is run today, it takes a really long time to actually realize plans...
