Why is this wrong? Maybe I am abnormal but for me a job is just a method to receive money.
It is the case that my passions are unpractical and not economically profitable, so I work on the part that I can tolerate and leave the business part to people more inclined to do well in that part.
It seems like the struggle of entrepreneurship is interpreted morally, while it really doesn't have a moral dimension at all.
- urthor 5y agoIt's about proactivity and your ability to manage what happens to you at work. The passively employed, especially outside technology often have worringly insecure career trajectories. We are an insulated caste against the problems of the world, partially because we keep up with tech skills. The stories are crazy from my former roommate who works in "change management," aka babysitting employees who've done the same task with the same software every day for 15 years through an unheaval. They become like adult babies when you tell them to do something different than what they've done before. If you take away the requirement for continuing education of the technology work, some extremely nasty things happen to the more passive members of the workforce.
