Work Sucks

I realized a few years ago, after working on a project that generated millions of dollars for my employer, that it doesn’t make sense to work hard to enrich other people. If you have the skills necessary to generate all those dollars for someone else, you should find a way to use those skills for yourself.

The amount of capital required to start your own independent operation varies greatly by industry, but in my case, there is nothing any employer would be willing to provide that I can’t afford to provide myself.

I suppose it’s easier to let other people assume all the risk and simply trade your time and energy for a small sum of money, even if that sum is worth less than whatever it is you produce, but doesn’t the bureaucracy, laziness and stupidity of your co-workers get to you?

I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit and I find being forced to work in a tiny box (mentally and physically) unbearable and suffocating.
