HOly ****.
I got job offers from friends
that would absolutely smash
my meager salary.
If I had started to work for
some of these guys I would
actually be wealthy. I could make
a hell of a lot more money right now.

But what they do is flippn
boring. I dont want to go
look at land all day and figure
out square footage to charge
tennants in shopping centers
based on location, and on and on...BS.

Its very simple Scuds. Learn how
the game is played. Or change the rules.
Or both. Why people like George keep hitting
their heads against the wall is astonishing.

If George really understands whats going
on, then for God's sake change it. But instead
he whines to crowd's that wallow in self pity.
That wont fly. So he really does not care about
the plight of ordinary people. Just gives up and
says rich guys own you and it sux. They got you
by the balls, give up.

Thanks for the profound insight George.
Ridiculous. Of course there are businessmen
who use and abuse others. The key is finding
a way out. And the way out is having enough
sense to make yourself valuable thus independent.
You walk away from those types. I already have
and I refuse to believe I a something special. Im just
willing to be flexible and learn all my little pea brain
can take in (which is not anymore than most).

And what I like to do happens not to pay well.
But I dont care. Im livin a good life while I work.
I dont TGIF. I like working. I like learning. Who
could ask for more?
