Reality And The Dream

1. Income because you need it.
Getting a job is excellent idea and yes you may be trading your time for money but you need money, right. Yes you may not be generating income 24/7 but you are generating income! It is unbelievable that some people out there say that getting a job is dumb. Yes I have already heard you only get paid when you’re working. I don’t see a problem or think that people have been thoroughly brainwashed when comes to thinking that a job to earn income is the right choice. Yes how ever I do think life would be much easier if you were in a situation or already have created one that allows for you to be paid while you were eating, sleeping and carrying on with all life has to offer. This is just not case for the majority of us out there in this hard world is it?

So people may have you believe that smart people build income systems that generate money 24/7, so I say what this makes the majority stupid. Yes there are systems out there that can generate money such as a website or becoming an investor. Say that you choose one of these paths say the website how exactly are you going to feed your family pay your bills etc when this so called money making website is not generating money when it starts or say for that matter what if it does not generate money for years, do you starve or of course while I’m thinking about it where is the money coming from for the internet connection?

I will use this blog site as an example of why you definitely need a job. At the time of writing my 23rd article Ja Kel Daily Dot Com is generating .30 cents of income per day.  Ok, so take that amount and times it by the number of days in this month and I may make $8 to 10 dollars for the month. So tell me exactly how are you going to survive on this while you are waiting for web traffic to pick up to your site and especially if you are married and have kids. The investor idea go ahead invest but if you do not have money then how in world will you invest. I invest but it is for saving money for long term goals not something that I am relying on for money generating capital to live on monthly or even daily for that matter.

2. Experience
It is very important to gain experience in the job market. The experience you gain by working is invaluable it is something that you can use in life for ever no matter what your chosen profession is entrepreneur or working for a company. Some may say that you just sit around at any given job and I say if that is what you are doing then you will just sit around no matter if you are working for someone or self employed. Maybe you are in a position that is limited or may become obsolete one day.  Then you can do something about it update and educate yourself weekly on different ways of doing things in your chosen field. Just because you chose to stay with a given profession does not mean you have to stop learning and updating with the times.

3. Freedom
So you may be thinking that a job takes away from your freedom. Maybe you think if you were self employed you just sit around and do nothing. Most people I know that are self employed work twice as long and hard as employed people. Yes there is definitely a benefit to be self employed if you make it and make it big, the money you earn. In order to achieve either income you chose will take your freedom from you because earning money does not come for free unless of course you are a Silver Spoon family member.

4. Social Contacts
Contacts are important and a job is an excellent place to start your book of contacts. We have all heard it, is not what you know but who you know. I was use my life example; I work as a computer network administrator for the government and I have made many contacts from all over the world that I have added to my contact list.  Of course I still have my dream of making it big with an entrepreneur idea and my dream of this blog site becoming really big. The reason I call it a dream because it is just impossible for me to say that living off the income of a blog is a reality and for those that say that it is are just truly misleading because a money generating site like they talk about usually takes many years to establish and you need income while doing it.

Ok so say for example you are a computer entrepreneur is there anything wrong with working in a related job field and building up your contacts in that industry for when you do have a money making idea that you can use your contacts for promoting it? There is nothing wrong with it and no one should ever say that you are stupid because it is an excellent idea for which many have chosen and have become extremely successful using this traditional workforce path.

5. The Boss
Some morons say that to have a job is stupid for the fact you have a boss. What idiots they are because when you are self employed you have a boss also, it’s called the customer. The customer will not just yell at you or make you work late. The can put you out of business if they do not like your service or products. Then where will you be homeless and starving. Bosses are not actually that bad at all find out the ins and outs about them and make it work in your advantaged. Do not take me wrong here I am not saying do not try to make it on your own I am just merely stating that most people need a job in order to get started on the entrepreneur path and people out there stating that we are dumb for working are idiots for saying it.
