Jobs By The People, For The People.

Okay, I'm gonna be completely honest. If I wasn't such a wiener and scared of the unknown, I would love to be out on a crab ship, or logging trees in Montana instead of working part time and going to school. For whatever reason, I don't have it in me to up and leave everything I have ever known to venture off somewhere where I have no friends or family. Call me crazy, but if I ever ended up sleeping in some park somewhere, I don't know how long I would last. First of all, I can't bring myself to eat out of dumpsters. Second, I can't ask strangers for anything. Especially food or money. I think that is a huge pride issue. I don't even know if it's an issue. I think it's good that I have that so it keeps me off the streets. Anyway, if I ever got to that point where I was out of luck and didn't have money, I would starve to death. I don't think the elements would get to me, cause I have adjusted myself to the cold by wearing shorts all winter. Who's stupid now? I think that is probably a stretch of my imagination. In the worst case scenario, I don't get a job wherever I gallivant off to, and end up homeless. Fighting in underground venues for snacks and vodka. In the best case scenario I get a well paying job and am able to buy a house, a nice car, a boat, new shoes, every band shirt my heart can desire, and anything my woman would want. In the real life scenario, I end up getting a job and scraping by with decent enough money. But, I would at least be happy. That's not to say that I am not happy with going to school and working where I am. I just constantly feel like I am going no where. Especially when it comes to school. You dump a bunch of money into this thing, and you may not even get a job somewhere. I might as well go bet my money on horse races, and dog fights. Cause then at least there would be instant return, if there is return at all. Yet, here we are. I am probably gonna keep going to school in hopes of one day having it all pay off. Who knows? Maybe I will be rich as hell one day and it was all because of those years I spent doing garbage math homework and writing monotonous papers. But on the other hand, maybe I will end up writing for GQ or People magazine about hilarious things, and I will curse those years at school. Either way, school is going to be at fault for my success or failure. I'm planning on failure. In my mind, I think we should just rewind the clock a few hundred years. This day and age, we are almost required to have higher education. Back in the day, you were lucky if you could read. I think that would be such a great place to turn back to. Our economy is in such a shitting mess, I have a hard time believing that it would be a bad thing. Just to think about having your own land. You are entirely self sustainable, and what you grow, is what you eat. You have to put in all of your work throughout the whole summer in order to be able to survive the winter. If you wanted more money, you could sell your crops for some extra cash to buy whatever thing you deemed necessary. In my mind, this was a good day and age to be alive. There was no lack of jobs, no crashing economy, no wars over oil. Just, farmers. I would be so happy to get up at five o'clock every morning and work until the sun went down, if that was all I had to do. If that's what my well being relied on. I dream of a day when my biggest concern is if my horse is going to plow the fields or not. Maybe this is juvenile of me. But, there are so many jobs, and things that aren't vital to our well being. I think we could do without and eventually turn ourselves back onto the right track. No more fast food, no more game consoles and phones to keep us locked inside. Everyone has to work in order to survive. I just feel like it's the essence of American culture and we have lost it. I don't think this silly blog is going to change anything. It's just a dream of mine. An idea of mine. And maybe it sounds super Amish. But, maybe with those people is where I belong. I can grow the beard for it anyways.
