Hate your job? You probably live in the US

Hate your job? You probably live in the US

The drudgery of working nine 'til five is a common gripe worldwide, but according to a survey by Monster.com, U.S. workers hate it the most.

I couldn't get this one to load so i could quote more than this. So, if you want to read this article please click on it at "Hate your job?--------" above.

I think if you have traveled all over the world like I have you tend to look at people in the U.S. as people who sort of live in Disneyland and don't know it. The suffering is just so bad in most other parts of the world that "Any Job" literally keeps that person alive and they know it from seeing people dead on the streets or begging or worse. In most of the world death is an everyday occurrence and sometimes people might even be left and not picked up on streets when they die. So, any job in most of the world people are very grateful to get because it is better for them than being dead like others they might have seen or worse. Most people see life as a jungle in a dog eat dog world. It isn't pretty but most people would rather have a job and be alive than be starving or dead. This is true most places except in the U.S. where unrealistic expectations run as high as living in a movie.

I have traveled enough to know I do live in Disneyland and the unhappiness in the U.S. since about 2007 or even 2001 is incredibly depressing until you look at just how bad the rest of the world has always been throughout human history.

However, here in the U.S. "unrealistic expectations" sometimes come true and you get your wish which is why "unrealistic expectations are important if you can psychologically and physically survive them, especially here in the U.S. I had to work at a whole lot of jobs I hated with employers I hated to get to the point where I could start to become a real entrepreneur starting around age 28 or 29. It was the anger of having to work in situations where I felt I was being taken advantage of financially that started to make be be able to wear enough hats to start to become successful as an entrepreneur. Literally, everything you learn can be used to make yourself an entrepreneur, go back to school and learn new things etc. Hating your job might be the best thing that ever happened to you if you use it in some good way to create a future you can stand to live in without killing yourself. My life just started to get good and worth living in my late 20s and early 30s. Also, remember 33 is the happiest (at least physically) that people tend to ever get on earth. However, psychologically speaking I have been much happier than I was at 33 since I have been 50 even when faced with potential death from illnesses. I just think I learned to become grateful for everything good in my life and this brought me peace whether I was going to be alive or gone out of this world and passed away. Peace is very useful in being happy.
