I got an excellent diploma, I have been working for 6 years right after school, earning big money in IT consulting. Much more than I cared to spend. And then I realized all that did not matter. How would more money bring anything to my life when I already didn't spend that which I already have?
I ditched it all. Left my job, sold my furniture and moved. Now I go from place to place with my wife, rent a flat in a different country every few months. Learn new languages. Sometimes get paid for stuff I enjoy doing. Rest of the time contribute to free software projects I like and learn photography.
Probably I'm worthless to your vision of society, spending less than $3000 a year, not contributing to economy (I do paid work for maybe 150 hours per year to sustain this).
Yet… I return the question: “why aren't jobs making themselves better workable”?
I still get contacted by random IT companies with job offers. So far, none had anything worth changing my lifestyle.
How about you keep your job and salary and hierarchy and useless meetings, reports and office hours?
How about I call you lazy for blending in, for giving in to easy thinking instead of inventing your own life?
How about you start actually doing something valuable of your life instead of meaningless money?
