"what if jobs are not the solution but the problem?"

12. thanks for sharing your story mike..

"often the ONLY asset, that I brought to the labor market. Employers who offer those kinds of "jobs" seek to buy the most precious asset any of us owns, the very hours and minutes of breath we have on the planet, for the lowest price possible. When I understood that, I also realized that I would never be satisfied with a "job" again, ever. I needed a calling, a career, whatever-- work that I performed because it interests me, compels me, and defines me."

Well stated. There's an important distinction between a "Career" and a "Job". And we can look at rates of depression, anxiety disorders and a whole host of other psychological issues we're now talking about and how that is connected to leading an unfulfilled life and living in poverty.

My concern is really what the world is going to look like 10-20 years from now. If we continue to ignore the inevitable, it will catch up on us with disastrous consequences. These are conversations we need to have today.
