Jobs are for people without a lot of self-motivation, without direction/strive, and without confidence in themselves.
This sudden thought occurred to me when I was hearing about some different job positions and what they entailed.
People with a job want to be told what to do, whether they admit it or not.
Self-motivated, self-directed people with strive and confidence have the ability to take their lives wherever they want to go, and do whatever they want to do. Each of these attributes play a large part in being able to get things done.
Because I have lived like this throughout most of my life, combined with the love of learning, I have been able to amass a great deal of raw and technical knowledge that typically surpasses the average. Though, I am not an expert in any one subject, I typically think that I'm above average in many categories, but don't most people?
So, the mentality I prefer is to give others the benefit of the doubt. This keeps me in the learning/student frame of mind so that I may better think less critically and more constructively.
Once I put my mind to something, things happen. So, that's why I believe that I would easily excel at any job. Maybe that is why I choose to have none? Because they are too easy for me? Even at a really technical job, after one month on the job, with my self-motivation and drive, I would easily feel comfortable on the systems. If I spent 2-3 months on something, then I would be an expert-in-knowledge (as opposed to an expert-in-application, which would involve actually doing a lot more of use-cases/test-cases.).
Then again, if this is seen as a rant, then it is quite possible that I am bias. Just keep in mind though, that I never consider myself better than others and I don't like to do comparisons either.
I'd like to hear others' comments.

Music Of The Month: Okay
It's been awhile since I've found an original song that I've really liked and think it's especially great how upbeat it is. I've actually known about this song for over a month now, but the true test of how catchy a song is, is time. The following songs won.
Okay by Marissa Smith
But, I was most entertained by lyrics and rhythm of her song "Like a Queen". It's awesome to hear the physically larger words, like "psychologically", "physiologically", "metaphorically", "comparisonly", "biologically", and "astronomically". And the change up in tempo is fantastic on the ears.
And, the people's choice award as determined by me would have to be "Without Mama" also by Marissa. It may the most relatable, and definitely humorous.
