The arbitrary 8.5-9 hour workday drives me nuts, because a lot of the time, I really only have 3 or 4 hours worth of work to do. I generally work quickly and I value my time. Can I make a decent living doing something that gives me this kind of flexibility?
“Is there a job that will pay me a full wage without requiring me to sit at a desk all day because I’m ‘supposed to’?”
“Yeah, just invest 16 years in learning a trade and building a business, you can totally work 4 hour days.”
What is with the comments here? Did you even read the post?
There are different categories of freedom.
Some people feel need to be at a desk, others feel need for fresh air daily.
Some prefer salary, others prefer independent-contractor.
Life’s certainly longer than this-quarter, so why not consider investing in long term solutions?
As the internet memes point-out:
“if you’re going to live to be 30 anyways, why not be 30 and a doctor and have your life set from then on?”
( something like that, some mom got her daughter to earn her MD, on this logic, & good for her, though I’d not want to be in medical-culture … ever, actually … family was.
I’d prefer the trades, now. )
