THE RED PILLThe Truth about Self-Unemployment

DISCLOSURE

I am not an economist, an accountant, or a finance guy

I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV Hulu

I am not selling anything - merchandise, drugs, religion

I am not recruiting for Factotem, GLEQ, Iluminatus, ...

I am a capitalist, and so can you! Oh yes you are!

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

Not what you’re doing (unless you love it)

Not what you did in school (unless you’re the prof)

Not what somebody else is doing (DWUD)

Not what somebody else said you should do (SOS)

Not a fad; makes you mad; feels bad; or to pay for the pad

UNLESS YOU’RE THE LEAD DOG, THE VIEW NEVER CHANGES

Hourly wage = $80K/2K = $40/hour

Cost to Employ = 25% wage = $10/hour
