For my life, I don't want to be part of a corporation as such. Vicious circle: Work hard, get a degree, take a minimum job, bust ass, ignore family, get a few promotions if you're lucky, hate your job after 3-5 years, go into deep depression because everything you worked for wasn't even worth it. Lose wife to another man who actually spends time with them.

Instead, I'll start my various projects for normal amounts of money, move to a country like Mexico where the government doesn't stand a chance of controlling their population, and do stuff like grow vegetables, learn to make sausages, read books, and spend time with my family.

Everyone really needs to ask themselves what they want to be doing when they're older... Then ask themselves seriously - why aren't they doing it already?

I don't see a good future in America or Canada. Every job that gets advertised is for a certain part of the machine now. It's rare to find a job that's creative, and EVERY intelligent worker wants that creative job, so good luck finding one.

When my dad applied to be a police officer here in the late 70's, he walked in unannounced, sat down with the chief, and he said "Son, I understand you want to be a police officer." My dad said he did. The chief asked why. He rambled on for a few minutes about helping people. Then the chief reached across the table, and said "Welcome to the force, son".

Times done changed.
