I think if they knew where to start making changes, they'd be, you know, making them.

  There have been plenty of times in my life where I knew I could otherwise advance but for forces out of my control holding me back. Simple knowledge is never enough for change. Many forces add up and keep people in inefficient situations. In China, there’s a sort of majority dictatorship holding people down. In the US, there are local, state, and federal forces at play - from things like living in “the wrong” zip code to outsized rent, poor pay, lack of healthcare, through to national competition for scarce, good career options, racism, sexism, many other-isms, and so on.

  My point is that many people complain that life's too short while spending 40+ hours per week doing something they don't like without giving it a second thought. Sure, not everyone is able to get a job they love. I'm not saying it's easy. But many don't even try.
