10 Reasons Jobs Suck
"Here are some reasons you should do everything in your power to avoid getting a job:
1. Income for dummies...
You only get paid when you’re working...Smart people build systems that generate income 24/7, especially passive income.

3. Lifelong domestication.

7. Begging for money...
8. An inbred social life...
9. Loss of freedom...
10. Becoming a coward.
