Who is in this biz for the long haul? Who is in it for the short gain?
Who actually hopes to make a career out of this biz?
Who here hopes to just make some cash to get through school and find a "real" job?
I posted this on another board after someone stated they hoped to not be in this biz in 5 years
I'm 36 years old, done just about everything you can imagine in the employment sector.
Worked in the commercial/film production market for 5 years in Los Angeles, managed fast food restauraunts for 7, I've worked for the Six Flags Amusement Park for 5 started as a technician in the games department (specifically asst. foreman over the arcade shop), and had a few odd jobs here and there...anyway my point is I've worked for other people, and other people suck.
I spent 7 prime years of my life working up to 70 hours a week for the Taco Bell corporation, pushing so hard to make my store the #1 in growth only to be making someone else rich.
While at the same time seeing less of my family and friends.
I now work just as hard, and at times the hours are just as long.
But I can get up and walk away from my desk and see my family who is just in the other room. I work in comfortable attire, mainly shorts t-shirt and I hate to wear fucking shoes.
Hell sometimes I'm not even wearing the shorts Boxer briefs baby.
The money is good and gets better all the time.
The ideas that I come up with benefit me and my partner directly, sometimes they work sometimes they don't, but when they do I see the benefits.
I don't have to worry about some Distric Manager screwing me out of my raise, and I don't have to worry about some fucked up corporate formula screwing me out of my bonus.
If this is what you want, or think is all that is out there then by all means go for it, just leaves more room for the rest of us to grow richer
