For some reason, I think people like us just do not do well in the workplace. The workplace largely I don't think looks for good employees.. I think mostly they are looking for "winners". The process of getting older at a job I think weeds out the winners from the losers. We may all start out at 25 largely the same but over the years... people get married, get "winning" spouses; get the pregnancy, get the new home... and, if you aren't like this cookie cutter image, you to some extent will be cutting years off your work life. And it all has to be in the right order or the right way.
I saw this with my dad, he had the wife and kids but wayy too late. He graduated college very late in life. And ended up out of work largely at 55. So with his work peers he was always the oldest in the room.
I have the possibility of starting my own business but I feel like that is a tremendous risk. But I also feel like everyone who does have their own business is so much happier. But also, most of them have someone who works and can support the up and down revenue. I just don't know how to do it by myself. At the same time it seems like all the really savvy people do go out on their own... and it seems as if you hang your shingle and people come a running. Everyone I know who started one is still doing it.
Anyone ?
