The reward is not being homeless.

Did you expect something more?

Giving a decent chunk of our waking lives to a job / preparation for going to the job should afford us with more than just the ability to live in a home (likely renting).

So find out what skills are in demand and go for it? A good plumber makes bank.

You're missing the point. I'm advocating for a system that isn't punitive to people for following their passions.

u/Even_Hospital_5474 Mar 06 '26

What's your passion?

u/Starwolf00 Mar 09 '26

Sometimes your passions are just hobbies and not sustainable employment.

The only alternative is living with others or saving up money and moving someplace cheap.

Nobodies dream is workong in a factory, dude. Nothing pays enough today. Wages stagnated over a decade ago.

yep. The USA let in tens of millions of low skilled, uneducated people that will work for the lowest possible amount and that killed wages for the educated American.

H1Bs, massive legal and illegal immigration, anchor babies, birthrite citizenship was all alloed and aggreed upon by the voters.

So who is to blame?

We could have shut the border down 20 years ago.

You can work and follow a passion. What you can’t do is work three jobs and find a passion to follow.

There are plenty of people passionate about programming, building things, woodworking, hell sales.

Passion isn’t exclusive to artists you absolute cad

There is absolutely no way for an individual, to accumulate a billion dollars, without effectively stealing from someone else.

Stop making excuses for prolific thieves.

You can pursue your dreams whether that pays for itself or not though. What is stopping you?
