Don't judge man. Not cool. A lot of old-school establishment types from back in the 20's, 30's, 40's, right on up to the 70's, 80's and 90's have passed on their "job mentality" to their kids and on to their kids and so on. Lots of people have that mentality.... that unless they have a *job* they are nothing.
I've always said it is the hardest road of all to become wealthy while working for somebody else. All you usually do with a J O B is to make your employer rich, all you get out of it is a living, not a life.
I stopped wanting to be a slave to a job back in the early 90's, and set goals, tried various side businesses over the years.... but the one that I realized the most success with was in website development, particularly adult.
But I have never forgotten the examples that good men like my dad and that other dad showed me, on how to just be happy too. A person can chase the dreams and the almighty dollar all their life and never be happy, while a shoe salesman can live a wonderful life with a loving family. It's about balance. Have the dreams, but know when to appreciate what you have.
