RE: Would you accept a $1 million gift on the condition that you could never be a wage earner again?
Would you be happy to say goodbye to a secure wage based lifestyle
Wage Based is not secure.
Gimme the money.
Hello everittdmickey! I agree that the wage itself is not in any way secured. You could get fired or have an accident that would take away your ability to perform your current tasks etc. In most jobs, however, you do to some extent develop skills which are valuable which you can resell to other employers in the future. That might give some sense of security.
On the other hand you would probably be able to acquire valuable skill in a faster rate by doing your own thing, not having to perform low level everyday tasks at a workplace. The only problem most people (I guess) face in this situation is to turn those valuable skill in to actual profit if you refuse to take a wage based job. Being self employed and profitable is challenging. The easy money would probably come in the form of a paycheck. Do you agree?
I think most people regard employment as a somewhat secure income.
The question if one should embrace security over freedom is a whole other discussion which I find interesting.
Let me know if my thoughts here make any sense to you
When my dad was a young man...he went to work for a company and continued working for it for decades. He spent most of his adult life working for the same place.
That doesn't happen much any more.
The average AGE of most businesses is much less than that.
like...eighteen years...and declining.
So no...wages (jobs) are NOT secure.
Amen!
